The structure in cells that contains DNA and protein is the nucleosome, found in the nucleus. In the nucleus of the cell, DNA is exists in the form of a long helical thread. It order to fit inside the nucleus, the DNA thread must be compressed enough to do so.
The cell accomplishes this by wrapping the DNA thread around a protein called histone. A single unit of DNA and histone octamer (called octamer because it consists of 8 proteins) is called a nucleosome.
The entire stretch of DNA in an average human cell is about 2 meters in length and would never fit inside a cell if not for histone proteins.
Answer:
Subducts
Explanation:
According to Merriam Webster and TheFreeDictionary, the definition of subduct is "A geologic process in which one edge of one crustal plate is forced below the edge of another." Since this sentence indicates that an oceanic plate sinks under the continental plate, therefore I believe the fill-in-the-blank word would be 'subducts' or a similar word.
The myometrium is our correct answer. it is the middle muscular component of the uterine wall and it is not shed during menstruation. the endometrium is the inner mucosal coat of the uterus. it exhibits many characteristic changes during the menstrual cycle and all but its stratum basalis is shed during menstruation.
