Answer:

1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.

Explanation:

The number of nucleosomes can be calculated by the following formula:

Nucleosomes = Genome size/ total number of base pairs.

Here, the genome size is 3.4×109.

Total number of base pair = number of base pairs in nucleosome core particle + linker DNA.

Total number of base pair = 146 + 50 = 196.

Number of nucleosome = 3.4×109 / 196.

Number of nucleosome = 1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.

Thus, the answer is 1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.

- Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring  will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.</em>

Explanation:

The cross for the offsrings that will be produced by F1 generation is shown below:

         a          a

A      Aa       Aa

A      Aa        Aa

As we can see that all the offsprings in the F1 generation will have heterozygous genes but only the dominant trait will be seen in the phenotype of the F1 generation.

A cross between the F1 generation will give the following results:

         A          a

A      AA      Aa

a       Aa      aa

This cross shows that there will be increases genetic and phenotype variations in offsprings that will be produced by the F1 plants.

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

The right answer is smelly garbage.

Infestation is the penetration into the body of a parasite whose nature is not microbial.

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).
