What genetic process is occurring in a puff of a polytene chromosome? how do we know this experimentally?

Biology

rewona [7]4 years ago

A giant chromosome that contains thousands of DNA strands or Puffs is known as a polytene chromosome. In insects, like Drosophila, the polytene chromosomes are most usually found in salivary glands.  

The puffs are the locations on the polytene chromosomes that are uncoiled regions and transcriptionally active. So, the genetic procedure, which is taking place in a puff of a polytene chromosome is a high level of transcription. For example, in the salivary gland of Drosophila, the polytene chromosomes go through various rounds of endoreduplication and articulate a higher concentration of a mucoprotein prior to the pupation.  

The activity of transcription can be determined with the application of precursors of radioactively labeled RNA. The high activity of transcription would exhibit a greater volume of radioactivity from the precursors of RNA.

An unknown substance is dissolved in water. The solution is corrosive,conducts electricity, and has a higher concentration of H+
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

These are the properties of an acidic solution. The higher the H+ ions in the solution the higher the acidity. H+ is also a measure of pH because pH is the negative log of the H+ ions in a solution. The more the H+ ions, the lower the pH of the solution. The H+ ions also allow the solution to conduct electricity because they take up the electrons and transport across from the anode to the cathode. Acidic solutions are also corrosive because they are highly oxidizing – the H+ ions accept electrons to turn to H₂ gas.

Which type of cell division only occurs in organisms whose cells contain chromosomes?
Lelechka [254]
<span>Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. While meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. </span>

During which phase of mitosis do the nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and nucleus dissolve? metaphase prophase anaphase telophase
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Prophase 
During the prophase stage of mitosis, the nucleus seems to disband itself. The nucleolus suspends itself and finally, the nuclear membrane disassembles itself. This is because of the undergoing process of copying and dividing. 
Mitosis is a functional cell dividing process that helps the cells repair or rejuvenate itself because of apoptosis and other factors.
