Answer:

9444.44 origins

Explanation:

From the given information:

The genome of D. melanogaster = 1.7 × 10⁸

1 sec = 30 base pair

1 min = 1800bp i.e. (30  × 60 = 1800)

5 Min = 9000 bp i.e. (1800 × 5 = 9000)

Suppose there was a single bidirectional origin, then the process would proceed as:

= 1.7 × 10⁸ / 2*(1 / sec / 30 bp)

= 2833333.333

SInce it only takes 300 seconds in ( 5 minutes), then:

There should be 2833333.333/300 = 9444.44 origins to accomplish suh feat.

what is the function of vesicles in the synthesis of proteins and the release or those proteins outside the cell?
Zina [86]

Vesicles transport newly synthesized proteins to the Golgi apparatus. After the Golgi apparatus modifies the proteins, vesicles transport the modified proteins to the cell membrane, where they are released.

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid concept
 an acid is a that donate a proton" and a base is a "proton acceptor."so
  will look for that molecule to which  <span>H2O</span> "donates" H+to become <span>OH−</span>. so answer will be..
. <span>NH3+H2O→NH+4+O<span>H<span>−
so correct option is NH3
