Answer:

B) decreased chromatin condensation

Explanation:

The addition of acetyl groups to the histone tails results in a less packed state of chromatin. The acetylation of multiple Lys residues in the amino-terminal domains of histones H3 and H4 reduces the affinity of the entire nucleosome for DNA. It occurs since acetylation reduces the total positive charge present on histone proteins. Histone proteins are positively charged and pack the negatively charged DNA around them. Therefore, increased acetylation results in decreased condensation of chromatin. The loosely packed DNA is accessible by RNA polymerase and transcription factors for gene expression.

Which of the following statements about carotenoids is NOT true? Carotenoids include red, orange, and yellow pigments. Carotenoi
kvv77 [185]

       The right answer to this question is option D. Carotenoids are categorized into two major divisions: carotenes and beta carotenes

       First, let's check option A, it says that the carotenoids include red, orange and yellow pigments, that's true, we can check that on lab for example, a vegetable that can be mentioned here are carrots, it has lots of this and it's very healthy too, and remember, there isn't a single animal that can produce carotenoids, so they need to grab it from nature.

       The second option, B. says that sometimes carotenoids are sometimes called as acessory pigments, that's true too, some studies consider them acessory pigments, so, they're not alone there, there are different kinds of pigments that can be on that plant, and they're also very important for the animals. Option C refers to beta carotene as the most abundant carotene in plants, that's true too, we can also find other kinds of carotenoids on plants, but this one as it's seen in lab, is the most common one. The last one, D, isn't true, the two major divisions are: Xanthophylls and Carotenoids, beta carotenoids are a type of carotenoids, not a different group.
