Explain how Chromosomes are like a ball of yarn (use the words chromosome, DNA, and gene in your answer)
arlik [135]

Answer:

Chromosomes are like a ball of yarn in the sense that there are multiple components that make up the structure. Genes can be in similitude of the smallest threads in the yarn and when a multitude of genes are put together they make a DNA strand or a long, thick thread of yarn. Lastly, when DNA is twisted together, it becomes bundled together, making a chromosome or a "ball of yarn".

In the paired chromosomes, which pair might have two different chromosomes with very different genetic coding?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

What is allosteric regulation? a) In allosteric regulation, genes are expressed constitutively. b) In allosteric regulation, a s
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

b) In allosteric regulation, a small molecule binds to a large protein and causes it to change its shape and activity.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation refers to the activity control of an enzyme by binding small molecules to regulatory sites on It. This binding causes an alteration of the protein conformation and consequently the shape of the active site and its catalytic activity are altered. Regulatory enzymes can act by either stimulating or inhibiting the activity of a protein.
