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.

If a cell has 40 chromosomes, how many centromeres would it have when it is in metaphase? a. 1 b. 2 c. 20 d. 40 e. 80
Alla [95]

Answer:

Basically this depends on the type of cell division the cell undergoes.

if the cell undergoes reduction division of meiosis(n) the  chromosome number will be reduced to 20 so the centromere will be 20, However if the cell undergoes multiplication division of mitosis,(2n) the centromere will be 40, since the chromosomes number will increases and sister chromatids holding the chromosomes are held at centro mere.
