Answer:

operant conditioning

Explanation:

Operant conditioning, also called instrumental conditioning, is a learning method that makes use of the association of reinforcements (rewards) and punishments with a particular behavior or pattern of behavior. Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence of that behavior. This method is widely used in animal training.

Operant conditioning is based on a simple premise: actions followed by reinforcement will tend to repeat themselves. On the other hand, actions that result in unintended punishments or consequences will weaken and are less likely to occur again in the future.

An example: When a lab rat presses a blue button, he receives a food ball as a reward, but when he presses the red button, he receives a slight electric shock. As a result, he learns to press the blue button but avoids the red button.

Answer:

A general decrease in transcriptional activation

Explanation:

When acetyl groups are added to histone proteins by acetyltransferase enzymes, the 30-nm chromatin fiber will not be formed because the proteins are prevented from doing so. This further destabilizes the chromatin structure and allows the occurrence of transcription. However, raising the cells to 40°C does not allow the acetyltransferase enzyme to function and hence the acetyl group will be hindered from being added to the histone protein which is the main target of the enzymes. Thus, transcription activation will be blocked because the chromatin and nucleosomes would remain stabilized.
