Summarize the methods by which DNA was found to be located in chromosomes.

Biology
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

DNA packaging is the method to convert long DNA into condensed chromosomes. Histone protein is responsible for basic level packaging of DNA into the nucleosome. Histone proteins are positive in nature that neutralize the DNA's negative charge.

A nucleosome consists of eight histone proteins which wraps around 147 bp of DNA. Each nucleosome has linker histone which forms chromatosome.

The next level of organization is the compaction of nucleosome into approx 30nm diameter fiber due to the attraction between nucleosomes.  

Then protein condensin helps in making the 30 nm chromatin fiber to condense more to become a chromosome which is 1000 fold smaller than its original length.

Name two effects unbalanced forces can have on an object. Provide an example of each effect.​
stealth61 [152]

The two kinds of unbalanced forces are:

  • Net Force: Is the vector sum of all forces acting (pushing or pulling) on an object.
  • Resultant Force: is a force that alone produces the same acceleration as all those forces.

To effects that unbalanced forces have on objects are:

  • Can make an object move or stop.
  • Can speed up or slow down an object.

Here are some examples:

  • When falling out of a plane when sky diving, this is making you move faster. Then when you are using a parachute, you are slowing down.
  • A man uses force to roll down an object from the top of a hill.
