Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
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.
When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.
Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.
They evolved survive that antibiotic.
Answer: dandelion is consumed by bees, grasshoppers, and butterflies.
All cells have a protective covering known as cell membrane. In plants, the cell membrane is further protected by another layer called cell wall. All the organelles present inside the cells are membrane bounded structure.
Cell membranes are made up of phospholipid bilayer with extrinsic and intrinsic proteins. From the studies on the plasma membrane structure, it was found that the protein fingerprint of MITOCHONDRIA and CHLOROPLAST are most similar to the cell membrane.
