Answer:

Number of bacteria required = 20000

Explanation:

Given -

Size of each bacterium = 3 micrometers long

These bacteria are arranged end to end.

The size of chain to be formed is equal to 6 centimetres

Let us say that in forming a chain of 6 centimetres nearly X number of individual bacterium are required.

hence, number of bacterium required to form 6 centimetres  chain can be represented as

X = \frac{6 * 10000}{3} \\X = 20000

Number of bacteria required = 20000

Explain why it is impossible for a man to be a carrier of a sex-linked trait.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because it contains two different sex chromosomes

Explanation:

Man in its genome contains two sex chromosomes, X and Y, while woman contains two X chromosomes.

In order to be a carrier of a sex-linked trait, a person should have one copy (one allele) of a certain trait. For example, if a female has one X chromosome with mutation (e.g. disease carrying) and one normal X chromosome, she is carrier for the disease. But, on the other hand if a male has one X chromosome with mutation he will develop that disease.

Proteins that affect the structure of dna bound to histones without altering histone chemical structure are called:_______
slamgirl [31]

Proteins that affect the structure of dna bound to histones without altering histone chemical structure are called Non-histone protein.

The proteins that remain after the histones have been taken out are known as non-histone proteins. A large group of heterogeneous proteins referred to as non-histone proteins organise and compress the chromosome into higher order structures.
They play a crucial role in regulating processes such nuclear transport, steroid hormone activity, nucleosome remodelling, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and processing, and the transition between interphase and mitosis.
Scaffold proteins, DNA polymerase, Heterochromatin Protein 1, and Polycomb are examples of typical non-histone proteins. This classification area also includes a large number of other structural, regulatory, and motor proteins. Non-histone proteins can be acidic. Other than histones, many proteins have the ability to bind to DNA and change the shape of the chromatin by means of epigenetic processes.

Can someone make me a storyline about protist? It doesn’t have to be a whole story but something I can go off of?
Vitek1552 [10]
