Answer:

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.

Explanation:

Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.

On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.

Hypothesize one way that a diploid organism could have offspring that are 3n or 4n
Temka [501]
Diploid refers to a cell that has two copies of each chromosome. One way that a diploid organism could have an offspring that are 3n (triploid) or 4n is when the chromosomes don't separate during meiosis.

Triploid refers to some cell that have 3 copies of each chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes.

Your teacher gives you this model of transcription. Choose the statement that best describes the role of DNA in transcription.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A)

DNA directs the synthesis of RNA.

B)

DNA splits into two strands of RNA.

C)

A strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.

D)

Two strands of RNA are formed by copying each of the strands of DNA.

The correct answer would be that <u>a strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.</u>

<em>Transcription is a process during which RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. The coding strand of the DNA is utilized as a template for the formation of messenger RNA. During this process, the double helix structure of the DNA is unwound by an enzyme and the coding strand is bound by a short DNA strand at the beginning of a gene while another enzyme adds RNA nucleotide bases to elongate the short strand.</em>

The correct option is C.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The answer options are in the figure attached below:

Answer:

the option D is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option D shows a pathway where activation of the receptor would lead to an increase in gene expression. This is because in this option we can see that the transcription regulator is decreasing gene expression, but there is a receptor that is activated and that has the ability to inhibit the pathway, allowing the selected gene to be expressed efficiently. This is because the pathway shows two inhibitory steps, when this happens an activation is performed.
