The term heterochromatin refers to heavily condensed regions of chromosomes that are largely devoid of genes. Since few genes ex

ist there, these regions almost never decondense for transcription. At what point during the cell cycle would expect to observe decondensation of heterochromatic regions? Why?

Answer:

The correct answer is: S phase.

Explanation:

DNA can be divided into two functional forms: heterochromatin and euchromatin. Heterochromatin refers to the DNA that doesn't code for proteins or RNA, and thus it remains heavily condensed, for there would be no use to use it for transcription or translation. Euchromatin, on the other hand. is the DNA with the genes that can be transcripted into RNA and translated into proteins; for this reason, Euchromatin is less compact than Heterochromatin.

<u>The only point in the cell cycle where Heterochromatin would be decondensed is </u><u>S phase</u><u> because, in this part of the cell cycle, the </u><u>DNA gets replicated</u><u> in order to prepare for Mitosis</u>. For DNA to be replicated, it first needs to be decondensed to their two strands can be separated and used as guides for the synthesis of the two new strands.

Alex

The mass of vascularized connective tissue that temporarily forms during wound healing is called the granulation tissue.

Granulation tissue refers to the reddish connective tissue that forms around the surface of the wound during wound healing. It is associated with the formation of the new blood vessels renedering it a red color and delivers the nutrients to the tissue. It is primarily composed of a tissue matrix consisting of different types of cells which are associated with various functions like the formation of the matrix, protect against infection and the formation of the blood vessels which is called the vascularization. Fibroblasts are present in the extracellular matrix of the granulation tissue.
