IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Number of nucleosomes in 2.9 * 10^9bp is equal to 1.47 * 10^7

Explanation:

For wounding one nucleosome, total length of DNA required is equal to 146 bp

The length of  linker DNA in mammals is equal to 50 bp

Thus , the total length of DNA that confides between two nucleosome is equal to the sum of wounding length of DNA and the linker length

= 146 + 50\\= 196bp

Thus, in 196bp length of DNA, the total number of nucleosomes is equal to 1

Thus, number of nucleosomes in 2.9 * 10^9bp is equal to

\frac{2.9* 10^9}{196} \\1.47 * 10^7

For example, in the consumption of alcohol, tolerance can occur when there is a fast elimination of alcohol from the body system. This is usually as a result of the activation of a group of enzymes that is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol in excessive alcohol drinkers. The activation of this enzymes increases the catabolism of alcohol and hence reduces the active time within the body, hence reducing the time by which alcohol intoxicates.
