Assignment 1: Compare Contrastin And Heterochromatin

Decent Essays
The difference between Euchromatin &Heterochromatin is:
1) The euchromatin is less intense than heterochromatin which means that heterochromatin has more stringent DNA packing
2) Heterochromatin contains more DNA than euchromatin
3) Euchromatin has more lightly packed form of chromatin than heterochromatin
4) In structure, heterochromatins contains inactive satellite sequences, and many genes are repressed to various extents, centromeres and telomeres. Where some cannot be expressed in euchromatin at all.
5) Under the optical microscope euchromatin is represented as light-colored bands while heterochromatin is represented as dark-colored bands
6) Euchromatin is found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (in eukaryote cells with nuclei and in prokaryotes

    Assignment 3.05 DNA DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the stuff in humans and almost all other organisms. About every cell in you and everyone else's body has the same DNA. DNA is usually located in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA),however small amounts of DNA can be found in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). The DNA has information stored as a code created by four chemical bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Each base is connected to a sugar molecule and phosphate molecule.…

    BIOL 1010 ASSIGNMENT 1 OCT 6 BY JORDAN KAPITANY ST 100883963 Among the many scientific achievements of the twentieth century in the field of bio-technology scientists Paul Berg, Herbert W Boyer, Stanley N Cohen and team for their research that lead the party to discover a technique of taking genes from one organism and inserting them into another organism, also more formally known as Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA recombinant technology. In 1971 Berg and team successfully isolated DNA of virus found in monkey's known as lambda then placed the genetic material into DNA sequence of a different simian virus called SV4O. This was done by first using a DNA enzyme, a naturally occurring molecule that has the unique chemicals properties to sever the bonds in the DNA sequence, from a very specific kind of…

    Metaphase I and Anaphase I both take place during meiosis. During Metaphase I a group of four chromatids, called tetrads, straighten at the metaphase plate. The metaphase plate is a plane cell section in the equatorial plane of the metaphase spindle having the chromosomes positioned on it. The centromere attaches itself to a spindle fiber and then the spindle fibers pull the chromatids to the equator of the spindle.…

    1. DNA Structure and Function DNA is the type of organic compound that stores the genetic information in a living organism. DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides, which include a phosphate group, five carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Each individual strand in held together by strong covalent bonds (a bond formed as a result of the distribution of electrons between atoms). The two strands are then joined to each other by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases.…

    Authors of text 1 and 2 employ the technique of intertextuality of the film Gattaca by Andrew Niccol to support their claims. Savulescu uses the intertextuality to emphasise his perspective on “gifted genes” as “genetic inequality,” “gifted children” and “biology [determining] ability” are all problems that arose within the film Gattaca as genetic engineering became present within the dystopian world. Savulescu’s exploration of these problems highlight how “genetic analysis of embryos” could be used to “identify children [more] likely to succeed academically” indicating that these children could be “hot-housed” while other children were put in “slow streams” and “denied entry into certain jobs.” Conversely, Ford structures her article to build her perspective off of…

    For a century, scientists studied chromosomes by looking at them under a microscope. In order for chromosomes to be seen this way, they need to be stained. Once stained, the chromosomes look like strings with light and dark bands, and their picture can be taken. A picture, or chromosome map, of all 46 chromosomes is called a karyotype. The karyotype can help identify abnormalities in the structure or the number of chromosomes.…

In cell division process the cell is obtained by the already existed cell or pre existed cell stated by Ruolf Virchow in 1855. The process divison of cells is uasuall same in all of the living organisms. Division of cells is furtherly divided into two types :- 1) Mitosis 2) Meiosis Basic Difference Mitosis and Meiosis:- Mitosis and Meiosis both are originally types of division of cells .…

    Simone Francis Reference number: 2167-6527 Epigenetics is the study of modifications to the genes of organisms. The way in which our genes behave can be altered by our epigenomes without changing our DNA sequence. They can be altered by different factors of our environment such as what we eat, drink, etc. The video on epigenetics was very informative. Prior to watching the video, I had no knowledge of what epigenetics was nor have I ever heard about it.…

    Cell division is a complex biological method in which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, depending on whether or not that division is mitosis or meiosis. For simple one-cell organisms, like amoebas, archaea and protozoa, single cell division, mitosis, is akin to reproduction. For multicellular organisms, meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells by undertaking a single round of DNA replication, shadowed by two more cellular divisions. In all, the principal purpose of cell division is the preservation and replication of the original cell 's genome, regardless of whether that cell division is through mitosis or meiosis. Before cellular division can begin, the genetic information that is stored in the gene’s chromosomes…
