Amino acids are acids on one hand, and a base on the other hand.
<h3>What is an acid?</h3>
An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen or hydroxonium ions as the only positively charged ion when it ionizes.
All amino acids have an amine group -
and a carboxylic group -
.
The carboxylic group ionizes such that:
The presence of the amine group enables amino acids to also act as a base.

Melanin provides pigmentation to the skin and it also provides UV ray protection (which is its role in the epidermis).
Not a lot besides the fact that they are both mixtures in water, because a solution is a mixture in which the solutes ( solids) dissolve, and suspension is a mixture in which the solutes don't dissolve.
Answer:
Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generation of cells
Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription
DNA is not transcribed when packaged tightly in a condensed form
methylation of histone tails can promote condensation of the chromatin
Explanation:
chromatin modifications that can be passed on includes epigenetic modifications that are heritable changes made to the chromatin structure that does not involve the DNA sequences. Some epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation and Histone modifications. examples of histone modification include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquintylation etc. All these function either in allowing the DNA become more accessible to transcritional factors or vice versa. for exmple, histone tail acetylation encourages unwounding of nucleosomes allowing transcriptional factors to have access to the DNa while histone tails methylation further tightens the nucleosomes promoting condensation of the chromatin.
C. They are able to be divided by a chemical reaction.
