Answer:
The given blank can be filled with histones.
Explanation:
The family of basic proteins, which associate with the DNA in the nucleus and assist in condensing it into chromatin are known as histones. The nuclear DNA does not come in the form of free linear strands, it is heavily condensed and enveloped around the histones so that to get fit within the nucleus and take part in the generation of chromosomes.
These are the basic proteins, and because of their positive charge, they get associated with the DNA. Under the microscope, chromatin appears like beads on a string. The beads are known as nucleosomes. Each nucleosome comprises DNA wrapped around the 8 histone proteins, which works like a spool and is known as a histone octamer.
This phenomenon is referred to as receptor situations.
Answer:
a. The molecule is not lipid soluble b. The molecule is not derived from a series of steps beginning with cholesterol
Explanation:
All the steroid hormones have a four ring sterol nucleus in their structure. These hormones are soluble in lipids. Steroid hormones are produced by the pathways using cholesterol as the starting substance. Some of the examples of steroid hormones are aldosterone, calcitriol, estrogens, and progesterone. Therefore, if the given molecule is not soluble in lipids and is not derived from cholesterol, it cannot be a steroid hormone.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Pheromones a chemical substance produced and released into the environment by an animal, especially a mammal or an insect, affecting the behaviour or physiology of others of its species.
Tungsten (W) has six electron shells. You get this number by counting down to the row the element is on. The row number is the number of electron shells.
