Understanding the structure and function of DNA has helped revolutionise the investigation of disease pathways, assess an individual's genetic susceptibility to specific diseases, diagnose genetic disorders, and formulate new drugs. It is also critical to the identification of pathogens.

In an investigation, plant cells are placed in water that has been tinted blue. The investigators observe the color of the cells
larisa [96]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When plant cells take in water, the vacuole swells. A swollen vacuole indicates the plant cell has all the water it needs. This suggests that the plant is taking in water and is maintaining optimum conditions. This is an example of homeostasis.

If the cells burst apart, as in A and E, this would suggest the cell is not properly maintaining homeostasis, as the cell bursting suggests something has gone badly wrong. This suggests the cell has taken in too much water; the cell has not been able to maintain homeostasis and regulate water uptake to prevent this from happening.

In the reverse case, where the cells shrink apart (as in B), the cell would also not be properly maintaining homeostasis by failing to bring enough water into the cell to maintain a turgid state. This is also damaging for the cells.

Finally, D and E can also not be correct, because water can cross the cell membrane, and does not need to be pumped in or sent out by endocytosis.

Plsssss help rn and pls don’t guess.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Punnett Squares are unable to predict the offspring of an asexual organism because there is only one parent from which the offspring can receive genes from. The whole point of a Punnett Square is the fact that it covers all possible  offspring outcomes besides mutations from the usual two parents.

Describe the basic storage mechanism for DNA using the words histone complex, nucleosome, chromatin and chromosome.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Chromosomal DNA is packaged inside microscopic nuclei with the help of histones. These are positively-charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively-charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. ... Nucleosomes fold up to form a 30-nanometer chromatin fiber, which forms loops averaging 300 nanometers in length.
