During the inventory of bacterial genes present in the Sargasso Sea, a deep isolated area in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a research team concluded that at least 1,800 bacterial species were present. Based on what you might predict about the habitat structure of such an area, what kind of bacterial diversity would you expect to see in tropical coral reef waters?

Find correct True and False statements

A. Human females have 23 different chromosomes, whereas human males have 24.

B. In the living cell, chromatin usually adopts the extended “beads-on-astring” form.

C. The four core histones are relatively small proteins with a very high proportion of positively charged amino acids; the positive charge helps the histones bind tightly to DNA, regardless of its nucleotide sequence.

D. Nucleosomes bind DNA so tightly that they cannot move from the positions where they are first assembled.
