<u>Cytosine base</u> is methylated in DNA methylation.

  • A biological process called DNA methylation involves the addition of methyl groups to the DNA molecule.
  • Without altering the sequence, methylation can modify the activity of a DNA region.
  • DNA methylation often suppresses gene transcription when it occurs at a gene promoter.
  • DNA methylation is the process of adding a methyl group to DNA, further altering gene function and impacting gene expression.
  • Cytosine and adenine, two of the four bases in DNA, are the bases that can be methylated.
  • The most frequent DNA methylation in humans is the covalent attachment of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of the cytosine ring, producing the product 5-methylcytosine.

Anastasy [175]
39%. Adenine would have the same percentage as Thymine, meaning it would he 32% A and T and then subtract that from 100 giving you 72 divide that by 2 and you get part Guanine and part Cytosine.

Answer: A, the sun creates it's own light.

Explanation: <em>The moon can't create it's own light, so the sun shines on the moon and it </em><em>reflects</em><em>, or "bounces" off.  The sun is able to produce it's light by </em><em>fusion,</em><em> which also creates heat. </em>

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Friend (endotherm) will need to eat more calories than snake (ectoderm) to maintain constant body temperature.

To generate heat endotherms convert the food they eat into energy through the process called metabolism. Most of the food that the endotherms eat is converted into fuel to maintain a constant body temperature. Endotherms need to eat more food than ectoderms of the same size to maintain their constant body temperature.
