The inheritance of gene expression patterns, in the absence of the initiating signal, is called Epigenetic regulation.

Epigenetic changes can be defined as inherited variations which are not present in the DNA sequence. Gene expression is regulated at different levels and not merely in response to DNA modifications. Examples of epigenetic control include DNA methylation, histone deacetylation and mi-RNA expression.

Epigenetic mechanisms add an adaptive layer of control in the regulation of gene expression that allows an organism to adapt to a dynamic environment.

Epigenetic regulation increases the functional intricacy of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by changing chromatin structure, nuclear organization as well as transcript stability.

Enzymatic breakdown of which of the following compounds doesn’t begin until it reaches the stomach?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. Proteins

Explanation:

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).

Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.

What is a specific region of an enzyme where a substrate binds and the chemical reaction occurs

Makovka662 [10]

The correct answer is an active site.

The active site, in biology, refers to the region of an enzyme where the molecules of substrate combine and goes through a chemical reaction. The active site comprises of the residues, which produce temporary bonds with the binding site (substrate) and residues that catalyze a reaction of that substrate, that is, the catalytic site.
