Epigenetics is the study of how DNA methylation and alterations to chromosomal proteins affect a gene or group of genes express themselves. For changes in a gene's expression, both of these are need.

In a biological process called DNA methylation, methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. A DNA segment's activity can be altered by methylation without the sequence changing. DNA methylation usually inhibits transcription of genes when it occurs in a gene promoter.

Epigenetics literally translates to "along with changes in genetic sequence." Any procedure that modifies gene activity without altering DNA sequence and results in modifications that can be passed on to daughter cells is now included in the term. Is called Epigenetics.

Describe the three types of reproductive isolation.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

These include temporal isolation, ecological isolation, behavioral isolation, and mechanical isolation. Post-zygotic barriers: barriers that come into play after two species have mated. These include genetic incompatibility, zygotic mortality, hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility, and hybrid breakdown.

How does the control group setup in an experimental differ from the other setups in the same experiment?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

A control group setup in an experiment is used to see if there are other variables in play during the experiment. Say I was to test which type of blood is a shark's favorite, my control would be putting red paint in one of the set ups to see if the shark is just interested in the red color of blood, instead of the other types of blood.

Match the following. 1. period during the life of a cell when it has finished mitotic division G1 phase 2. period during the lif
zimovet [89]

Ans.

The cell cycle includes a series of events that results in the formation of daughter cells from a single parent cell. These events include interphase, followed by M phase. The interphase consists of three phases, G0 (Gap 0) phase, G1 phase, S (synthesis) phase, G2 phase, while the M phase consists two phases, karyokinesis (mitotic or meiotic phase) and cytokinesis. At the end of cell cycle, cell enters into G0 phase again and the cycle goes subsequently.

The sequesnce of cell cycle events can be written as follows:

G0→G1→S→G2→M→G0→G1→....

Thus, according to the cell cycle sequence, these terms can be matched as:

1. When a cell finishes its mitotic division, it enters to G0 phase, which is also known as rest phase. Thus, statement 1. matches with G0 phase.

2. The period between end of mitosis and synthesis of genetic material for next mitotic division shows G1 phase, in which cell prepares itself for division. Thus, statement 2. matches with G1 phase.

3. The period of interphase between synthesis of new genetic material and the beginning of mitosis is G2. Thus, statement 3. matches with G2 phase.

4. The period between two mitotic division is interphase. Thus, statement 4. matches with interphase.

5. The period of cell division, during which a cell is performing actual cell division is M phase. Thus, statement 5. matches with M phase.

6. The period of interphase, during which genetic material gets doubled is synthesis or S phase. Thus, statement 6. matches with S phase.

Predict the outcomes of a plant with 6 diploid chromosomes that fertilized a similar plant in which the egg failed to undergo me
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - triploid plant.

Explanation:

Triploidy is a condition which can be defined as the 3 set of chromosome in an organism, the extra set of chromosome may be come from the maternal organism or the paternal derived. Maternal derived triploidy known as the digynic while in in the case of the paternal derived called diandric.

In this case the sperm goes under the meiosis so the each gamete will have one chromosome of each set (I I I) while the egg failed to undergo meiosis so the gamete carry complete set of chromosome ( II II II ) after fertilization the outcome will be Digynic triploidy (III III III).

Thus, the correct answer would be - triploid plant.
