DNA is condensed by a certain amount just on its own, just by its own interactions within the DNA molecule,..but whne proteins get involved it gets condensed 30000 fold 
<span>what happens is that proteins called histones are like hockey pucks, and DNA wraps around it 1.5 times and then goes to another histone and wraps around that so that it looks like beads on a string (i hope that makes sense, its the only way to describe it) </span>
<span>these histones condense this DNA a lot, and when the histones get methylated then the DNA packs together even closer to get heterochromatin (VERY densely packed DNA)...the theory here is that DNA has a net negative charge due to the phosphate groups in the DNA backbone and doesnt allow the DNA to come together as closely as it could (like charges repel like charges), but when histones are methylated, the negative charge on the DNA is masked by the methyl groups and DNA can come together closer </span>

Taxonomic classification involves sorting a given organism into progressively more specific levels of categories until you find
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species

Explanation:

The formal system of classification used in taxonomy was introduced by a Swiss scientist named Carolus Linnaeus.

He first split living things into a general category called KINGDOM.

- The kingdom is further split into large smaller groups called PHYLUM (for animals) and DIVISION (for plants).

- Each phylum or division is broken down into CLASSES.

- Each class is broken down into ORDERS

- Orders into FAMILIES,

- Families into GENUS

- Genus into SPECIES

Thus, the system of classification from highest (most general category) to the lowest level is as follows: Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species

What is negative feedback, and how does this process help to keep values (like body temperature) constant or within a small rang
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Negative feedback mechanism may be defined as the system of the body in which the final output reduces the process and result in the less output. Negative feedback mechanism is important for the regulation of homeostasis.

The negative feedback mechanism maintains the constant body temperature. The change in body temperature is sensed by the receptors. The low body temperature initiates the hypothalamus to increase the physiological process.    The blood vessels narrow, body start shivers and hormone stimulation increases body temperature. When the body temperature become normal, the hypothalamus will no longer be stimulated and stop its effect.
