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

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. All 270 tall plants were heterozygous

B. All 270 tall plants were homzygous.

C. Only 90 plants were homzygous.

D. All dwarf plants were homzygous.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over that of dwarfness (t). This means that a dwarf plant can only be homzygous recessive (tt) while a tall plant can either be homzygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt).

According to the question, two tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. Based on this cross, a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 is expected, which is in accordance with the 270 tall plants and 90 dwarf plants (360 total) that was obtained in the cross. Since dwarfism in pea plants is a recessive trait, this means that all the dwarf plants produced in this cross (90) were homzygous (tt).

Which is more active in cellular respiration: a germinating or a non germinating pea?
Morgarella [4.7K]

A germinating seed. This is due to the fact that the cells of a germinating seed are actively dividing as the plumule and radicle grow. This growth requires energy and this is derived from cellular respiration of the stored food in the cotyledons.
