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.

Density gives us information about how atoms in a material are
krek1111 [17]

Answer:Density is a characteristic property of a substance. ... The mass of atoms, their size, and how they are arranged determine the density of a substance. Density equals the mass of the substance divided by its volume; D = m/v. Objects with the same volume but different mass have different densities.

How is a frog disected?
Stella [2.4K]
<span>Lay the frog on its back, spread out its limbs, and pin them to the tray. Use forceps to lift the skin between the hind legs and make a small incision with a scalpel. Continue the cut up the center of the frog's body with scissors, being careful to cut through the skin only. Use forceps to hold the skin away from the muscle while you cut, if necessary. Make horizontal incisions just above the legs and just below the arms, then fold the resulting flaps back and pin them. (You may need to use a scalpel to help separate the skin from the muscle underneath as you fold it back.)Repeat the incisions as before, this time cutting through the muscle layer to a point just below the arms. Lift the muscle with the forceps to prevent cutting the organs underneath.When you reach the area just below the arms, turn your scissors and make horizontal cuts through the hard sternum. Repeat the horizontal cuts just above the arms, and then remove the bony strips entirely. Pin the remaining muscle flaps back, just as with the skin.<span>Look into the body cavity. The yellow finger-like projections on the sides are the fat bodies. It may be necessary to remove some of these in order to see the organs clearly. Likewise, a female specimen may have well-developed eggs filling the body cavity and obscuring the organs. Remove them as necessary.</span></span>

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. The n = 1 energy level has two electrons, and the n = 2 energy level has six electrons. Oxygen
natita [175]
<span>Valence is defined as number of electrons that are present in the outermost orbital. Oxygen is in the 16th column of the periodic table and the total number of valance electrons is determined by units place digit of the column position which is 6 for oxygen. The outermost orbital is the high energy level and there are two in that orbit. So the valance is +2.</span>

Describe how each of Newton’s laws may be observable during a car trip.
aleksandrvk [35]
According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.
