Answer:

The two main types of DNA organization present in chromosomes are the extended DNI and the condensed DNI

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, the complete chromosome is composed of only one lineal and extremely long DNA molecule. DNA is intimately associated with two types of proteins: <u><em>histones</em></u>, which are structural proteins, and <em>non-histone</em> proteins that mediate different functions of DNA.

DNA associated with histones is called <u><em>chromatin</em></u>. Histones are responsible for packaging DNA molecule, and the fundamental unit of packaging is known as a <em><u>nucleosome</u></em>. As chromatin must be condensed, nucleosomes generate regular structures between themselves forming a <em><u>chromatinic fiber</u></em>, in which DNA is very condensed. A superior level of condensation is the structural <em><u>ringlet-shaped domain</u></em>. At this level, a chromatinic fiber is folded and a protein is responsible for keeping joined the two regions of DNA that form the ringlet. The next condensation level is the rolling of the ringlet-shaped domain composing the <u><em>chromosome</em></u>. The typical chromosome in the metaphase is formed by <u><em>two chromatids</em></u> joined by a centromere. Each chromatid is composed of a sequence of chromatin ringlets domains. In the interphase, <em>before cellular division</em>, chromatin is in a diffuse, lax, uncondensed state, known as extended DNA. When <em>cellular division</em> is about to happen, chromatin begins to condensate. At the beginning of the <em>prophase</em>, DNA is condensed in a well-defined chromosome formed by two sisters chromatids.

Polydactyly is an inherited trait that results in extra fingers or toes. In the United States 0.1% of the population exhibits po
ANEK [815]

Answer:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Explanation:

If people with the heterozygous genotype "Pp" present polydactyly, only people with the genotype "pp" will not present polydactyly. Since 99.9% of the population do not exhibit polydactyly, then it can be concluded that the "p" allele is much more frequent in the US than the "P" allele.

Therefore, the answer is:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Which one of the following statements is true? A. Voluntary hyperventilation results in acidosis. B. Emphysema directly impairs
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Voluntary hyperventilation results in alkalosis, not in acidosis. Alkalosis takes place when the body possesses too many bases. It can take place due to decreased levels of carbon dioxide or due to enhanced level of bicarbonates in the blood, that is, a base.  

Emphysema directly impairs exhalation more than it directly impairs inhalation. Emphysema refers to a lung disorder, which leads to shortness of breath. In the individuals suffering from the condition, the air sacs in the lungs, that is, alveoli get damaged.  

The hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the right at the time of metabolic acidosis. The low partial pressure of oxygen within the lungs results in the constriction of pulmonary arterioles. Thus, all the mentioned statements are false.
