Which type of selection on a polygenic trait increases variation in the trait

Biology
1 answer:
GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago
8 0
The answer is Mutations.  It is the <span>type of selection on a polygenic trait that increases variation in the trait.  Mutations </span>increase genetic variation, which is needed for natural selection to bring about evolutionary change.  When a cell divides, it makes a copy of its DNA — and sometimes the copy is not quite perfect. That small difference from the original DNA sequence is a mutation<span>. </span>

How does rough er differ from smooth er in structure and function
emmasim [6.3K]
<span>Rough ER is called rough because it has ribosomes attached to its surface. The double membranes of smooth and rough ER form sacs called cisternae. Protein molecules are synthesized and collected in the cisternal space/lumen. When enough proteins have been synthesized, they collect and are pinched off in vesicles.</span>

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hin
Kay [80]

The correct answers are:  

  • Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.
  • DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.
  • Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.
  • Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells.  
  • Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.

Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of histone protein that can affect gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers.The most common modifications are methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation. All of them affect the binding affinity between histones and DNA and thus loosening (gene activation) or tightening (gene repression) the condensed DNA.

Histone methylation is a transfer of methyl group by histone methyltransferases to lysine or arginine amino acid of protein. Effect of methylation depends on the type of protein that is modified. Demethylation is the reverse process.

Histone acetylation is the process of adding of an acetyl group(by  histone acetyltransferases) to histone proteins and it can also activate or inhibit the gene expression. Deacetilation is reverse process.

Which of the following is a radical?<br> O <br> H20<br> OH<br> H
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) OH</em>

Explanation:

In the field of chemistry, radicals can be described as atoms, molecules or ions which have at least one unpaired electron.

The formation of a radical occurs when a single covalent bond breaks so that each of the atoms that had been involved in the formation of the covalent bond can have an unpaired electron. Examples of radicals include OH, NH4+ etc.

Other option, like option B, is not true because a molecule of water does not have any unpaired electrons in its valence shell.
