If you block histone deacetylase, what effect would you expect to see on transcriptional activity?.

1 answer:

8 0

Histone deacetylase is responsible for removing the acetyl group from the histone 3 lysine 9 residue. Remember that deacetylation is one step in converting euchromatin to heterochromatin. Because euchromatin is transcriptionally active (transcriptional machinery is able to reach gene of interest), and blocking histone deacetylase activity would result in an the DNA remaining as euchromatin, we would expect to see an increase in transcriptional activity.

So there’s your answer: An increase in transcriptional activity.

Compare and contrast properties of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.

Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.

Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.
