Answer:

Step 1. 1:100

Step 2. 1:1000

Step 3. 1:100,000

Explanation:

At first step, 0.1 ml is diluted in 9.9 ml of saline. Multiple both with 10 you will get 1 ml in 99 ml suggesting total dilution at first step as 1:100.

At second step, 1 ml of 100x dilution will be taken and further dissolved in the 9 ml of B3. Here, the dilution factor is further 10 times therefore the total dilution would be 1:1000.

At third step, 0.01 ml would be taken from 1000x dilution and further diluted in 9.99 ml. Therefore, the dilution factor here is 100 times. Hence the final dilution at this stage would be 1:100,000.

This is the simplest explanation I can give.

Hope it helps.

What is the relaxed form of dna in a cells nucleus?
stich3 [128]

The relaxed form of DNA in a cell's nucleus is called chromatin.

<h3>CHROMATIN:</h3>
  • Chromatin is a complex of DNA and histone proteins within the cell's nucleus. The DNA is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, hence, is coiled around proteins called histones.

  • This complex forms the structure called chromatin, which then condenses during the prophase stage of cell division to form a more compact structure called chromosome.

Therefore, it can be said that the relaxed or uncondensed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell is called chromatin.

Where are the cells located that make up the SA node
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

in the wall of the right atrium of the heart.

Explanation:

The sinoatrial node (SA), consisting of spindle-shaped cells, initiates the electrical activity of the heart. From its location in the right atrium in proximity to the superior vena cava, the electrical activity spreads to the atria, whose cells are larger than those of the SA.
