Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of life?If you explain too I give you a brainlist.
A.Made of one or more cells
B.Movement
C.Requires Energy
D.Adapts over time

Answers

B. Movement because not all living things are able to move.
I suppose it’s B, although technically all organisms have some type of physical movement, even plants. That being said the others are absolutely necessary for life so I’d imagine your teacher means walking, swimming, running, etc for movement.

The only organisms (if you call them that) that don’t have cells are viruses, which an argument still continues on whether they are alive or not.

All cellular processes require energy therefore all life requires energy.

All organisms go through adaptations given a long enough period.

de que sustancia esta lleno el cromosoma

Answers

Answer:

Los cromosomas están compuestos por dos cadenas largas de polinucleótidos asociados a proteínas histonas

Explanation:

Un cromosoma es una molécula lineal de ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN) la cual está compuesta por dos cadenas de nucleótidos dispuestas en forma de doble-hélice. En el ADN, cada nucleótido está formado por una azúcar desoxirribosa, un grupo fosfato y un tipo de base nitrogenada (los cuatro tipos de bases nitrogenadas que forma nucleótidos en la molécula de ADN son Timina, Guanina, Citocina y Adenina). La molécula larga de ADN en doble hélice se encuentra asociada a proteínas histonas para formar las fibras de cromatina. Aproximadamente 150 pares de bases de la molécula del ADN se encuentran enrolladas con las histonas H2A, H2B, H3 y H4 (dos subunidades de cada una) para formar un nucleosoma, la unidad básica de la cromatina. Finalmente, es importante indicar que la molécula de ADN contiene regiones no codificantes y regiones codificantes, es decir, fragmentos de ADN los cuales son utilizados como templados para producir moléculas de ARN mediante un mecanismo conocido como transcripción. Los ARN mensajeros (ARNm) son un tipo especial de ARN sintetizados a partir de fragmentos codificantes de ADN conocidos como 'genes'.  Posteriormente al proceso de transcripción, estos ARN mensajeros sirven a su vez como templados para la síntesis de proteínas en los ribosomas, mediante un mecanismo conocido como 'traducción'.
