When comparing genomes from different species, scientists are often interested in the genome density, or the number of genes per

number of nucleotides in the genome. genome density can be calculated from the size of the genome and the number of genes. what is the gene density of the human genome? calculate your answer in genes per mb (mega base pairs, or 1 million base pairs)?

Answer:

12–15 genes per million base pairs

Explanation:

Gene density is defined as the number of genes per million base pairs.  

As per the human genome project, there are total 3 billion base pairs in human being as per the estimate till today.  

However, the number of genes ranges from 20,000 to 25,000  

Now mathematically gene density can be presented as

\frac{25000}{3000000000} \\= 9

In general, the gene density ranges from 12 -15 genes per million base pair

The human genome density ranges between 12-15 genes per Megabase pairs. This is because humans have approximately 2000 genes in a total of approximately 3 billion base pairs. However, some primitive organisms have an even larger gene density than humans. An example is bacteria with gene densities ranging between 100 – 500 genes/Mb. Gene density is therefore not a good characteristic in determining the complexity of an organism.

Cyanobacteria can cluster together into colonies called _______, with some discovered in Western Australia that are 3.5 billion
Anna [14]

Answer:

1.) stromatolites

2.) photosynthesis

3.) Ordovician

4.) Cambrian

5.) oxygen

6.) As Earth cooled, carbon dioxide dissolved in the early ocean. Cyanobacteria consumed carbon dioxide and converted it to oxygen. Methane was removed from the atmosphere as oxygen was produced, eventually leading to the Cambrian Explosion.

7.) Metabolic processes that use oxygen produce more energy than anaerobic metabolism. Simple diffusion of oxygen would limit the size of a multicellular eukaryote, but animals evolved ways to transport oxygen to their tissues, which permitted an increase in size.

Cellular respiration can best be described as Group of answer choices using energy released from breaking high-energy covalent b
pochemuha

Answer:

using energy released from breaking high-energy covalent bonds in organic molecules to force ATP formation from ADP and phosphate.

Explanation:

The cellular respiration involves the generation of energy for bodily activities. This is technically known as the Kreb's Cycle or citric acid cycle. This is the process through which the intracellular metabolism of glucose takes place. Specialized organelles, called mitochondria are responsible for the process. The organelles ensure that the breaking of the high energy phosphate bonds in the ATP monocle generate energy. Overally, the process is a hydrolysis process. This involves the movement of the hydrogen ions an the generation of 38 high energy phosphate bond breakages.
