Each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes. the rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off. the process

of turning genes on and off is known as gene regulation. gene regulation can occur at any point during gene expression, but most commonly occurs at the level of _________, when the information in a gene's dna is transferred to mrna.

Answer: the correct answer is "transcription"

Explanation: Gene regulation is the process of activation and deactivation of genes. In the early stages of development, cells begin to assume specific functions. Gene regulation ensures that the affected genes are expressed at the appropriate times. Within the gene regulation factors are transcription factors, which are proteins that bind to DNA near the area where the gene is located, helping or inhibiting the transcription machinery. Other forms of regulation include epigenetic processes such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, interference RNAs, among others. This entire regulatory network works together controlling the appropriate rates and times when genes are transcribed into mRNA.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

In 1928, Fred Griffith performed an experiment revealing that genetic material can be passed between two different stains of the bacteria.

Explanation:

In 1928, Frederick Griffith, a British bacteriologist conducted some experiments to develop a pneumonia vaccine. He used mice and two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, known as R and S in his experiments.

The live R strain bacteria had a rough appearance and were nonvirulent. When he injected R bacteria into mice, they did not cause pneumonia. The live S strain bacteria had a smooth appearance due to their polysaccharide coating and were virulent. When injected into mice, the mice died as a result of pneumonia. The polysaccharide coating protected the S bacteria from the immune system of the mice.

Griffith then injected mice with heat-killed S bacteria (the heat killed the bacterial cells) and they did not cause pneumonia in mice. But when he injected a combination of non-lethal R bacteria and non-lethal heat-killed S bacteria into mice, the mice died from pneumonia. When he examined the blood sample from the dead mice, he found that the blood sample contained live S bacteria. This finding leads him to the conclusion that the nonvirulent R-strain bacteria had been "transformed" into virulent and lethal S-strain bacteria by taking up a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S bacteria.

This experiment was then used for additional experiments conducted by Avery, McCarty, McLeod and then by Hershey and Chase. They found the evidence that the transforming principle from Griffith's experiment was actually the hereditary material, DNA. The DNA of the S strain bacteria had survived the heating process. This DNA that contains the genes for the production of the protective polysaccharide coating was taken up by the R strain bacteria. The transformed R strain bacteria were now protected from their host's immune system and this process of transferring genetic information between different bacterial strains is known as transformation.

In the meselson-stahl experiment, cells were grown for one generation in growth medium containing a relatively heavy nitrogen is
elena55 [62]

Out of the following give choices;

a. All DNA strands contained only the heavy nitrogen isotope.

b. Half of the DNA strands contained only the light nitrogen isotope.

c. All DNA strands contained both heavy and light nitrogen isotopes.

d. All DNA strands contained only the lighter nitrogen isotope.

The answer is b. Meselson–Stahl experiment demonstrated the semi-conservative model of DNA replication. When DNA is replicated, one strand of the new double helix strand is the parent's strand while the other is the newly synthesized one. This made the semiconservative model stand out over the other two, dispersive and conservative models.

Which statement about the effects of natural events and human activities is true?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B. Human activities and natural events can damage the environment.,

Explanation:

Human activities are those activities carried out by a human being. The environment is being degraded daily as a result of the activities of man as well as natural occurrences e.g earthquake, tsunami, wild fire etc.

Human activities also called anthropogenic activities that damage the environment include sewage pollution, burning of fossil fuels, oil spillage etc. Hence, according to this question, human activities and natural events can damage the environment.
