8.3 Chromosome distribution within the nucleus DNA from any one particular chromosome is a single chain, many millions of bases long, and this chain is attached to a scaffold structure. It is not surprising then, that if we examine the interphase nucleus, each chromosome is seen to fill a localised area. This localised distribution of individual chromosomes is illustrated in Figure 42 with an examination of human chromosomes within the interphase nucleus. In these examples, special DNA probes have been used to detect the location of the e
3 Present energy sources and sustainability What are the principal energy sources at present, and how sustainable are they? About 80 per cent of the world's energy is currently supplied by fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. Present estimates suggest that, at current consumption rates, there are over 200-years' worth of coal left, 60-years' of gas, and 40-years' of oil.

In this unit we use rights primarily in the first sense, i.e. when we are talking about the act Bewegingsuitvoering objectief evalueren Het doel van deze website is om leraren lichamelijke opvoeding tools aan te bieden die moeten leiden tot meer objectieve leerling-evaluaties.
