What we knew in last 100 years about chromosomes has completely changed now with this new discovery. We had thought the nucleus is made up of tightly wrapped proteins called histones which form chromosomes. “New research shows that not only the the chromosomes contain 25,000 or more genes it contains also a mysterious structure scientists have found a sheet-like structure that occupies the 47% of the chromosome” (BEC Crew). For the last century, we thought the cell nucleus was made of complex DNA and histone proteins. The reason we did not know much about the cell nucleus is because the chromosomes were only visible during cell division that is during meiosis and mitosis, where the chromosomes are tightly packed to form supercoiled like structures which were visible under a microscope. …show more content…
This new method we are now able to see a 3d high-resolution structure of all 46 chromosomes. After observing the structure the scientist now knows that only between 53% and 70% of the chromosome has been occupied by chromatin, the rest of the chromosome is occupied by an invisible sheeth like structure.It's unclear what this structure is but scientists think that that the sheath structure keeps the sister chromatids separate so that no errors are made during cell division. “It is still unclear how this sheath made up of either a solid film or liquid film surrounding the chromosome” (BEC Crew) but scientists think these new findings will give us a better understanding of how certain birth defects are formed and also why cancer cells are
The design relied on two Schmitt triggers to generate the two different tones while using the transistors to act as a switch. This causes it to trigger continuously between two unstable states, allowing automatic switching between two frequencies producing two different tones. The RC values between the two Schmitt triggers will differ. Capacitors charge and discharge faster when it’s resistance is smaller.

For most sequences at position 4 and 5 we observe only the nucleotides G and T, respectively. There may be rare cases where other nucleotides may also be found. To consider such observations, we need to do a process called additive smoothing or Laplace smoothing to smooth the categorical data. [9] In this case, we add 4 sequences: AAAAAAAAA, CCCCCCCCC, GGGGGGGG, TTTTTTTTT.
I need to find the area of rectangle ABCD. I know that ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at point E. Segment DE equals 4x-5, segment BC equals 2x+6, and segment AC equals 6x. I predict that To find the area of rectangle ABCD I need to find out the base and height of the rectangle. The first step is to find what x equals. Since I know the intersecting line segments AC and DB are congruent that means when I times the equation 4x-5 for segment DE by two it will equal the equation 6x for segment AC.

1. The test subjects will prepare for sleep by acquiring everything needed for the subjects’ sleep preferences. 2. The test subjects will all set alarms on their smartphones for approximately 6, 8, and 10 hours after the subjects’ enter the resting period (Subjects may wake during the resting period for the bathroom, but they must not stay awake for more than ten minutes at a time to prevent as much deviation as possible.). 3.

During this experiment, mitochondria were isolated from 20.2 grams of cauliflower using extraction buffer, filtration through Miracloth, and centrifusion. Twelve samples containing various volumes of mitochondrial suspension, assay buffer, DCIP, sodium azide, and citric acid cycle intermediates were prepared to be read by a spectrophotometer. The inclusion of the dye DCIP allowed for the absorbance of the reactions between the mitochondrial suspension and the TCA cycle intermediates succinate, malonate, and oxalate to be measured, as DCIP turns from blue to colorless as the activity of succinate dehydrogenase increases. Experimental Findings Increasing the number of mitochondria in the reaction did increase the reduction of DCIP relative to the amount of mitochondrial suspension present.
The amount of water the plants need every day for their daily activities such as for growth and photosynthesis is small when compared to what is really lost because of transpiration. Plants have specialized pores called stomata which are in charge for allowing the passing of materials. The stomata pores are surrounded by cells called guard cells whose function is to expand and contract so that they can open and close the stomata. So for example when the plant is losing too much water the guard cells close to stop that.
Tn 4351 was originally isolated from bacteroides fragilis [30] . The transposon was successfully introduced into Cytophaga succinicans, Flavobacterium meningosepticum, Flexibacter canadiansis, Flexibacter strain SFI and Sporocytophaga myxococcoides by conjugation [25]. Tn 4351carries two antibiotic resistance gene. One of the codes for resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin which is expressed in bactroides but not in E.Coli. The other gene codes for resistance in tetracycline and is expressed in aerobically grpwn E. coli, but not in anaerobically grpwn E. coli or in bacteroides.
This process is split into 4 mini sections. Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Prophase is where the cells Chromatin (the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA). tightens into Chromosomes (A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes).
The nucleus is generally in the center of a cell. A typical cell nucleus is so small that ten thousand could fit on the tip of a needle. One strand of DNA is around 6 feet long. This mean that 6 feet of DNA fits inside the nucleus, which occupies about 10% of a total cell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus), of a microscopic cell. For this to happen eight separate histone protein subunits attach to the DNA molecule to
The sister chromatids are pulled towards oppsite poles of the cell. (http://andrewhulse.weebly.com/archive-blog---life-in-room-213206209/archives/01-2014) Telophase:the chormatids are now called chormosomes. The nuclear envelope reforms arounds the two sets of chromosomes to form two new nuclei and in each nucleus the nucleolus reforms. The spindle fibres disappear and the chromosomes become uncoiled, elongated and are no longer visible.
Experiment 3: Cell Viability Testing and Counting with Trypan Blue Exclusion Method Anna Coretta R. Santos I. Introduction Cell viability assay plays a crucial role is in the cells of the cell culture. This assay can be used to identify the relationship of cell count from the cell’s behavior (Stoddart 2011). This test help researchers to determine the number of viable and non-viable cells in a cell culture. This assay helps in estimating the cell count of a cell culture and to determine if there is sufficient amount of viable cells in the cell culture that a person will use for future research (Riss et al. 2013).
Prokaryotic organisms normally have a cytoplasmic membrane, cell wall, and sometimes a capsule. Bacterial cells are most commonly either coccus or bacillus in shape. The cell wall is either Gram positive or Gram negative. When the cell is Gram negative, the cell has an extra layer of lipopolysaccharides. The Gram positive has a thick layer of peptidoglycan.
