Biology

Answer:

A tetrad is a four part structure formed during the prophase I of meiosis I which is formed by the homologous chromosomes which is composed of two identical chromatids.

The tetrad formation takes place when a proteinaceous meiosis-specific nuclear structures called synaptonemal complex is formed between two homologous chromosomes which mediates the tight associations of the  homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex consists of two ladder like lateral elements which attaches the chromatin of the homologius chromosomes. The central region of the synaptonemal complex is composed of the transverse filaments and the central element which bridge the space between the the lateral elements.

This attachment of the chromatin to the synaptonemal complex mediates the chromosome pairing and form tetrad.

Part A If you want to affect chromatin packaging, which amino acid could you mutate to affect both histone acetylation and methy
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Lysine

Explanation:

lysine residues on the histone tails of the octamer cn be activated by both acetylation and methylation patterns to influence accessibility or silencing of the genes respectiviely. for example, acetylation of H3K27 (histone 3 lysine residue 27) brings about a region of active chromatin allowing access to transcription activity while its trimethylation  will cause silencing of the associated gene at that particular area (no expression of that gene)

AveGali [126]
The correct answer there is an exact compromise between two genes (alleles). <span>The codominance is a form of dominance when the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are both fully expressed. As a result of this, offspring have a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. Example of codominance is found in ABO blood types. When you have allele Ia and allele Ib the expressed blood type is AB.</span>

Which activity causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The activity which causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast is:

A. dune grass rehabilitation

Explanation:

This is actually a rehabilitation effort, unlike the other three options that cause land degradation.  A dune grass rehabilitation accretes sand and minimizes the rates of beach erosion. The program tries to protect coastal infrastructure and upland properties from storm damage by planting vegetation, fencing off sensitive areas, blocking storm surge, creating dune walkways, and absorbing wave energy.  During dune grass rehabilitation, activities that adversely affect the dunes are avoided.
