Answer:

Option C, 32 million

Explanation:

As per standard rule -

Number of base pair per nucleosome is equal to 200

Now, the total number of base pair in human genome is 3.1 billion.

Number of nucleosome in 3.1 billion base pairs is equal to

\frac{3.1* 10^9}{200} \\= 1.55 * 10^ 7

These are diploid cells and hence the number of nucleosomes will be 2n

Hence, the total number of nucleosomes are

1.55 * 10^7 * 2\\3.1 * 10^7\\

Hence, option C is correct

How are 3D printers useful in studying evolution
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

They can use these printers to make replica or identical copies of things like fossils. Theses are mostly useful because real fossils are rare so they can still study them without possibly ruining an artifact.

A force of 2.20 N is exerted on a 7,20 g rifle bullet. What is the bullet's acceleration? (Enter your answer in m/s^ 2 )
sweet [91]

Answer:

The answer is 306 m/s^2

Explanation:

F = m*a

We can rearrange this formula to get a = F / m.

The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg).

The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

There are 1000 grams in a kilogram.

7.20 g = 0.00720 kg

Force (2.20 N) / 0.00720 kg = 305.56 m/s^2

Accounting for Sig Figs, the answer is 306 m/s^2.

Gee, that's one fast bullet.
