Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division. There are three forms of nondisjunction: failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I, failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis.[1][2][3] Nondisjunction results in daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers (aneuploidy).

Calvin Bridges and Thomas Hunt Morgan are credited with discovering nondisjunction in Drosophila melanogaster sex chromosomes in the spring of 1910, while working in the Zoological Laboratory of Columbia University.[4]

Which structure has the active sites where the heads of the thick filaments will bind?
Gre4nikov [31]
THE ACTIN has the active site to which the heads of the thick filament will bind.
The muscle is made up of two major protein fibers, which are the actin and the myosin. Muscle contractions occur when myosin and actin slide over each other in a series of repetitive events. The protein actin has a thin structure and is abundant in eukaryotic cells while myosin is a thick filament.

Part A - Modification of chromatin structure Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are tr
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generation of cells

Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription

DNA is not transcribed when packaged tightly in a condensed form

methylation of histone tails can promote condensation of the chromatin

Explanation:

chromatin modifications that can be passed on includes epigenetic modifications that are heritable changes made to the chromatin structure that does not involve the DNA sequences. Some epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation and Histone modifications. examples of histone modification include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquintylation etc. All these function either in allowing the DNA become more accessible to transcritional factors or vice versa. for exmple, histone tail acetylation encourages unwounding of nucleosomes allowing transcriptional factors to have access to the DNa while histone tails methylation further tightens the nucleosomes promoting condensation of the chromatin.

Brut [27]

Answer:Organel

Explanation:

A lysosome (/ˈlaɪsəˌsoʊm/) is a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules. A lysosome has a specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and its lumenal proteins.
