Introduction:
DNA double helix is the fundamental unit of heredity. It is made up of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate and a base. They carry genetic codes to guide our body to perform various functions. These DNA molecules are packed into tightly wound structures called chromosomes which appear as beaded strings under light microscope. Chromosomes are the structures that contain the genetic material that is passed from generation to generation of cells.
Answer to Problem 5STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option C. DNA, nucleosomes, chromatin, chromosomes
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option C. DNA, nucleosomes, chromatin, chromosomes−In order to fit into the nucleus of a cell, the DNA tightly coils around beadlike proteins called histones. The phosphate groups in DNA create a negative charge which attracts DNA to the positively charged histone proteins to form a nucleosome. The nucleosomes then group together to form chromatin fibers.Chromatin is the relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell.Chromatin fibers supercoil to make up the DNA structures known as chromosomes.Therefore, DNA is condensed into nucleosomes which are grouped into chromatin which further makes up the chromosome.
Hence this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. chromatin, chromosomes, DNA, nucleosomes− DNA is condensed into nucleosomes which are grouped into chromatin which further makes up the chromosome. Chromatin is not the smallest part.
Hence this is not the correct option.
Option B. chromosomes, DNA, chromatin, nucleosomes - DNA is condensed into nucleosomes which are grouped into chromatin which further makes up the chromosome. DNA is smallest and chromosome is the largest part.
Hence this is not the correct option.
Option D. nucleosomes, DNA, chromatin, chromosomes− DNA is condensed into nucleosomes which are grouped into chromatin which further makes up the chromosome. Nucleosomes is not the smallest part.
Hence this is not the correct option.

You must define all abbreviations the first time you use them. Please include (and explain) the feedback loops.arrow_forwardA negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?arrow_forward18. Watch this short youtube video about SARS CoV-2 replication. SARS-CoV-2 Life Cycle (Summer 2020) - YouTube.19.
