Answer:

The cornea in the eye.

Explanation:

The cornea is the only part of a human body that has no blood supply; it gets oxygen directly through the air.  The cornea is a transparent tissue, allowing for light to pass through. If it had blood vessels there, that would be an issue - for that tissue! And the cornea receives its oxygen directly from the air. When contact lenses were first used, people were instructed to take out their contacts when they go to sleep - because wearing them at night would reduce the oxygen intake to the eyes. Then they began manufacturing contact lenses that allowed for the lenses to “breathe” permitting people to wear them day and night.

astraxan [27]

angle of incoming sunlight

Explanation:

The single feature that primarily determines the variation in climate in different parts of the world is the angle of incoming sunlight.

  • Climate is simply an extended study of weather over a long period of time.
  • The elements of weather like temperature, pressure, rainfall all conditions climate.
  • The angle of incoming sunlight is by far the most important factor that determines climatic patterns on the earth.
  • Around the equator, the sun is overhead and these regions are usually hot driving a wide range of weather phenomenon.
  • The polar and temperate regions receive diffused sunlight because the sun is at an angle there.

The DNA in linear eukaryotic chromosomes is wrapped around proteins called _____________, which keep the DNA from getting tangle
xenn [34]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with histones.

Explanation:

The family of basic proteins, which associate with the DNA in the nucleus and assist in condensing it into chromatin are known as histones. The nuclear DNA does not come in the form of free linear strands, it is heavily condensed and enveloped around the histones so that to get fit within the nucleus and take part in the generation of chromosomes.  

These are the basic proteins, and because of their positive charge, they get associated with the DNA. Under the microscope, chromatin appears like beads on a string. The beads are known as nucleosomes. Each nucleosome comprises DNA wrapped around the 8 histone proteins, which works like a spool and is known as a histone octamer.

What must happen before mistosis can being?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells
