Answer:

DNA packaging contributes to the compaction of the genetic material into cells that are many times smaller and also regulates gene expression and cell replication in living systems.

Explanation:

DNA is a fundamental molecule that contains instructions that make each organism unique. Each chromosome is composed of a very long linear DNA molecule associated with histone proteins that compact the genetic material, which is known as DNA packaging. Transcription and replication require that both strands of the DNA separate. Nonetheless, during DNA packaging, nucleosomes and the folding into chromatin fibers ensure chromosomal DNA is correctly packaged inside smaller nuclei. In consequence, DNA packaging not only enables the compaction of long linear DNA into the cells but also is involved in key biological processes such as gene regulation (transcription) and cell replication.

Both Duchenne muscular dystrophy and color blindness are caused by recessive alleles. DMD, unlike color blindness, nearly always

Ronch [10]

Answer: Although both are X-linked recessive conditions, and therefore more likely in males, with the single X-chromosome. The recessive allele in colour blindness occurs at a higher frequency in the population and is a mild condition. Thus colour blindness does occur to a lesser extent in females because it needs the double recessive condition. DMD is a severe, disabling condition with a limited lifespan, and recessive allele frequency much lower, so the double recessive condition in females is very rare.

Explanation: DMD is an X-linked recessive, “nearly always in males” suggest that it also occurs due to a new mutation or some rare condition e.g. double recessive from an affected father and carrier mother, or inactivation of the normal gene in a heterozygote. It is also found that the defective allele is not completely recessive and that female carriers may exhibit mild to moderate effects.

colour blindness is polygenic, although the genes are all X-linked. It is more common in males than females. Females can carry two recessive alleles and so express the phenotype, but this is uncommon because the frequency of the recessive gene is low.

There are similarities in that both are X-linked recessives, therefore commonly expressed in males, who only have one X chromosome. The gene frequency of the colour blindness recessive is much higher than that of DMD, so the double recessive condition, which affects females, is more likely to be seen with colour blindness. In addition, DMD is a severe condition associated with disability and limited lifespan, which reduces the probability of mating between an affected male and carrier female

How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question, "How do atmospheric conditions influence weather patterns?" What

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

In the lab, I discovered the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions that create snow, rain, thunderstorms, fog, and clear skies. I learned that low-pressure areas usually experience snowy, rainy, and stormy weather, and that high-pressure areas usually experience either foggy or sunny weather. Knowing how these atmospheric conditions influence weather help weather forecasters predict weather patterns through maps and other information.

2. Who was Anna Anderson?An impostor who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia

Who did she claim to be? Anna Anderson had claimed to be the missing be the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia(Anastasia Romanov)

What evidence supported this claim? the evidence that supported her claim was that she had the same hair and eye color,the same height, distinctive body markings, and a deformed foot just as the Romanov princess had.

3. What did scientists find in the burial site? The scientist found nine skeletons.

What did they not find?They did not find two of them which was believe to be that of Princess Anastasia and her brother Prince Alexei

4. What did the mitochondrial DNA testing show? DNA testing showed that it certainly was Nicholas, Alexandra and the three children, these was discovered through the bones found in the grave

What do scientists believe happened to Anastasia?Scientist believed that Princess Anastasia along with her brother Prince Alexei were cremated aright after they were being killed

5. Why do you think it took so long for this mystery to be solved? it took so long for this mystery to be solved because the technology available can not be compare to DNA technology because modern technology and advancement had made it more better and convenient .

What factors played a role? DNA technology played a role
