1) Our genetic information is packed in 23 pairs of chromosomes. In these<span> chromosomes we have histones (proteins that help the DNA to be very compact) and the double helix of the DNA.

2)
Chromosome- </span>structured like an X; has a centromere in the middle -Nucleotide<span>- thymine, adenine, guanine, cytosine; they are the base pairs that form the double helix of the DNA

Allele- it's a variant form of a gene </span>(for example, in the gene that codes the color of the eyes the alleles possible are: blue, green, brown)

Gene- it's a sequence of nucleotides that code a protein with a certain function.

Genotype- is the genetic characteristics of an individual (the ones that pass of the parents to the children) (the individual has brown eyes but has an allele that "says" brown and the other blue<span>) 
</span>
Phenotype- the characteristics that we can observe on an individual; traits. (Theindividual has brown eyes)

What is the difference between helicase and DNA polymerase?
Temka [501]

Answer:

Just as helicase is responsible for unwinding the DNA strand, DNA polymerase is responsible for replicating the strand once it unwinds and separates. DNA is made up of a sugar-phosphate ladder and a nucleotide base.

Why would carbon 14 not be useful for dating something in the precambrian era?
erastova [34]

Answer:

Not good for such old age

Explanation:

Carbon 14's half-life is about 5,700 years.  So, it cannot be used to date something more recent than that.  Also, due to the decay, it cannot be used on items older than about 50,000 years.

Then youngest a sample from the precambrian era could be is about 541,000,000 years (541 millions), so it's WAY past the range of use of Carbon 14, since there wouldn't be any carbon 14 left in the sample to evaluate the age through C14's half-life cycle.
