Because the fatty acid chains are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, it implies that the fatty acid chains of a phospholipid is not attracted to water hence why they are turned inwards towards each other and away from aqueous medium.  This implies that the interior of the membrane is HYDROPHOBIC (water-fearing/water-repelling).

A number of experiments have demonstrated that areas of the genome that are relatively inert transcriptionally are resistant to
algol [13]

Answer:

The DNA strands are not free in the nucleus, but forming a compact structure called chromatin along special proteins, known as histones. The chromatin structure has an important role in gene expression, as the level of compaction and the histone modification act as signals for the transcription machinery

In order to be transcribed, different areas in the genome need to unfold from the histone proteins, so the RNA polymerase can access the DNA.

That means, <u>that DNA sequences that transcribe at high rate, are more often unfold from the histones, and more exposed to other proteins to bind them. Particularly, those areas are more sensitive to the attack of endonucleases, such as DNAse I.</u>

As a consequence, an assay of DNAse I digestion can be used to identify highly sensitive or resistant to DNAse cleavage areas in the genome, and therefore serve as an insight to which sequences are more and less transcriptionally active.

11) In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in A) the light reactions alone. B) the Calvin cycle alone.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in

B) the Calvin cycle alone.

Explanation:

In C3 PLANTS PHOTOSYNTHESIS OCCUR IN TWO STEPS-

1. LIGHT stage , WHICH TAKES PLACE IN LIGHT. In this stage water is split and ATP is released.

2. DARK stage, which takes place in dark. This the stage where calvin cycle takes place which require ATP, i.e energy. In this process sugar is produced with help of carbon dioxide. In this carbon dioxide is accepted by 5- carbon molecule ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate, which result into two molecules of 3- phosphoglycerate. this three carbon compound. hence is called as C3 pathway. hence C3 plants.

1. Which of the following supports the theory that all modern human populations are descended from a single ancestral population
Trava [24]

Answer:

a. Comparative molecular studies trace our earliest genetic material to Africa

Explanation:

With the development of the genetics we have been able to come to new findings or confirm some suspicions when it comes to the origin of the humans. The genetic analyses of the human DNA and the other hominids that have died out, as well as out closest ''cousins'' in the animal kingdom, have shown that the earliest human ancestors have evolved in Africa. Over time, as the conditions allowed it, the hominids started to migrate out of Africa and gradually started to settle all around the planet.
