A population of white-tailed deer inhabits a certain patch of forest in michigan. Which group of alleles can be considered the g
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

the dominant alleles of white-tailed deer in this population only!

Explanation:A group of individuals of the same species that interbreed with each other is known as a population. The study of change in genetics is called population genetics which includes genes and alleles.  

Complete set of genes and their alleles that are present in a population is called gene pool. Gene pool includes both dominant and recessive alleles of every gene present in a population that can be transmitted in the next generation.

Population with high genetic pool has high diversity which increases the fitness of a population. As gene pool include all the genes and its allele in a population, therefore, the correct answer is all alleles of the white-tailed deer in this population only.

During the Carboniferous period, plants and animals grew very large due to high concentration of A. oxygen in the atmosphere. B.
Alja [10]

Answer:

Option A, oxygen in the atmosphere

Explanation:

The highest level of oxygen reached during this phase of the geological cycle of earth. The oxygen level in  Carboniferous  period accounted for 35%  as compared to 21% of oxygen in the atmosphere in present time.

Due to high oxygen content, the giant and wide varieties of terrestrial animal and plant species evolved. For example – size of insects and carwlies increased, plant became extremely giant, increase in number of tree ferns etc.

A gene is involved in promoting limb development in humans. The gene is initially weakly activated during the limb induction pha
Anna [14]

Answer:

1. If the gene is weakly activated, it likely lacks repressive histone modifications, but may also lack the presence of histone marks associated with strong transcriptional activation such as acetylation.

When the gene is strongly activated, it likely lacks repressive marks (such as H3K9me2/3 and H3K27me3 - both examples of repressive histone methylation) and might possess some activating histone acetylation marks, such as H3K4ac, and active histone methylation such as H3K4me3

<em>An aside: The pattern and presence of different histone modifications would depend on the gene, but based on the fact that it is a developmental gene, I would assume that H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 are at play (these are part of the Polycomb/Trithorax system)</em>

<em />

After limb growth is complete, the gene is turned off. Repressive histone methylation marks would be associated with this state, such as the aforementioned H3K9me2/3 or H3K27me3.

2. Histone modifications are tightly linked to genome organisation. Histone methylation marks associated with repression such as H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 are associated with compact chromatin structures, which restrict the access of transcriptional machinery and other positive regulators. Conversely, histone marks associated with gene activation are associated with a more permissive chromatin environment that facilitates the binding of factors associated with gene expression. In the case of histone acetylation, the acetyl mark directly removes the positive charge of chromatin, relaxing its interaction with negatively charged DNA.

3. If the inappropriate activation of this gene caused a cancerous tumor, this gene would be referred to as an oncogene (or a proto-oncogene for the term before it is inappropriately activated).

Typically, there are two classes of genes that lead to cancer: tumor-suppressor genes and oncogenes. Tumor suppressor genes lead to cancer when their protective activity is reduced or demolished, leading to the production of cancer cells. Oncogenes lead to cancer when they become over active. Oncogenes are often genes associated positively with growth and proliferation, consistent with the gene in this example.
