Biology
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - Histones are positively charged.

Explanation:

Histone is an octamer that is made up of four proteins and each protein has 2 copies. These proteins are H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone proteins are mainly made up of positively charged amino acids like arginine and lysine which gives histone proteins an overall positive charge.

This positive charge of histone plays important role in the binding of DNA around it because phosphate group present in the DNA makes DNA negatively charged molecules that are attracted by positively charged histone protein by electrostatic interaction.

This interaction results in the wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins and then compaction of DNA into chromatin. Therefore the right answer is- histones are positively charged.

lara [203]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Merocrine gland

B. Apocrine gland

C. Salivary gland

D. Holocrine gland

Answer:

D. Holocrine gland

Explanation:

Exocrine glands are the organs or the subcellular structures which secrete a substance which is excreted out of the body.

The exocrine glands are different from the endocrine glands as their secreted products are released out of the body which is not in the case of endocrine glands.

The wax is secreted by the sebaceous glands by the production of cells that break along the base of the garland with substance into the ductal system by the exocrine glands called Holocrine glands.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Holocrine glands will release whole broken open cells into their ductal system. These cells contain the stores of substance to be released by the gland. This method of secretion requires frequent cell turnover and replacement.
