DNA is packaged into these compact units

Chemistry
2 answers:
Wittaler [7]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Chromosomal DNA is packaged inside microscopic nuclei with the help of histones. These are positively-charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively-charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nuclesome is composed of DNA wound 1.65 times around eight histone proteins.

Answer:

The answer to this question lies in the fact that certain proteins compact chromosomal DNA into the microscopic space of the eukaryotic nucleus. These proteins are called histones, and the resulting DNA-protein complex is called chromatin.

A student has a 2.19 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 , N 2 , and CO 2 with a total pressure of 5.57 bar at 298 K . She k
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5.57 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.19 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0831\text{ L bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = Total number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.57bar\times 2.19L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{5.57\times 2.19}{0.0831\times 298}=0.493mol

To calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}         ........(1)

where,

p_A = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.318 bar

p_T = total pressure = 5.57 bar

\chi_A = mole fraction of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.318bar=5.57bar\times \chi_{CO_2}\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{0.381}{5.57}=0.0571

  • Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.221 moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen gas, \chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.221}{0.493}=0.448

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen gas by using equation 1, we get:

Mole fraction of oxygen gas = (1 - 0.0571 - 0.448) = 0.4949

Total pressure of the system = 5.57 bar

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p_{O_2}=5.57bar\times 0.4949\\\\p_{O_2}=2.76bar

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

A 52.0 g of Copper (specific heat=0.0923cal/gC) at 25.0C is warmed by the addition of 299 calories of energy. find the final tem
Leto [7]

Answer : The final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

Solution :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

Q = heat gained  = 299 cal

m = mass of copper = 52 g

c = specific heat of copper = 0.0923cal/g^oC      

\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature} 

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 25^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.

299cal=52g\times 0.0923cal/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25^oC)

T_{final}=87.29^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

Samuel needs to dissolve a solid compound in water. what are some things samuel could do to cause this dissolution to occur at a
ziro4ka [17]
In order to make the dissolution of the solid compound in water to occur at a faster rate, Samuel could do the following:
1. Break down the solid into tiny particles: breaking down the solid into tiny particles increases the surface area of the solid and thus increase the quantity of the substance that comes in contact with the solvent per time, this leads to a faster dissolution of the solid.
2. Stir the liquid with iron rod: Samuel can increase the dissolution rate of the substance by stirring it continuously with iron rod.
3. Increasing the temperature:Samuel could also increase the rate of dissolution of the substance by increasing the temperature of the water.
