What are the chromosomes called when they look like Xs​

Biology
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I think you're referring to the Metaphase...

Explanation:

During Cell Division (or, rather before!) the DNA needs to be replicated. This normally is done by DNA Polymerase, and results in two identical double strands (the "Sister Chromatids".

These chromatids are held together at the Centromere, which will be the heart of the "X"-shape. After that the DNA is packed into Chromosomes by winding it around proteins called Histones. If I remember correctly there are 5 different Histones.

This "Zipping Up" makes the chromosomes more visible.

As the two sister chromatids are still connected, the result is the X-shaped Metaphase Chromosome....

What is the sequence of travel by an impulse through the cardiac conduction system?
adoni [48]

The sequence of impulse through the cardiac conduction system starts from SA node passes to AV node to atrioventricular bundle fibers and finally to Purkinje fibers.

Heart is an organ that receives oxygenated blood form lungs and deoxygenated blood from different parts of body. Oxygenated blood is transported to different organs and deoxygenated blood is transported to lungs for oxygenation.

Now, to perform this transportation, the auricles and ventricles of heart contract and relax. In order to contract and relax, impulse generation is required, which begins at SA node or Sinoatrial node. It is also referred to as pacemaker of the heart. SA node contracts the atria and the impulse transfers to AV node or Atrioventricular node.

This is followed by transfer of impulse to atrioventricular bundle fibers which further passes it on to Purkinje fibres for ventricular contraction. Now the blood is sent to lungs and aorta as per it's oxygen status.
