What is meant by the "beads on a string" model of chromatin?

Biology
1 answer:
swat323 years ago

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

Beads on a string is a nucleosome (beads) with a string wrap around it (DNA).

(a)The beads are the nucleosomes, and the string is the linker DNA.  This option is describing perfectly what the expression "beads- on a string means".

(b)-The beads are ribosomes, and the string is the mRNA that has been transcribed from active chromatin.  Ribosomes are very useful organele in the traduction process but are not part of the expresion "beads on a string".

(c)-The beads are molecules of DNA polymerase that attach to the DNA string.  THis option is wrong, beads are the nucleosomes.

(d)-The beads are the histones, and the string is the transcriptionally active DNA loops.  Beads on a string do not consider that DNA is being unde rtranscription.

(e)- The beads are the heterochromatic regions that are tightly compacted, and the strings are euchromatic regions that are being actively transcribed.

This option is incorrect.

What causes the formation of graded beds of sediment?​
Mamont248 [21]

In geology, a graded bed is one characterized by a systematic change in grain or clast size from one side of the bed to the other. Most commonly this takes the form of normal grading, with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer onesI just learned about this in our rocks and minerals unit for science,

How many nucleotide bases are there in 24 codons? Show work, circle final answer
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).
