In population genetics, directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotype, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that phenotype

What is an example of eukaryotic gene regulation? Why is gene regulation necessary or advantageous?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Gene regulation in eukaryotic cells is regulated by repressors as well as by transcriptional activators. Like their prokaryotic counterparts, eukaryotic repressors bind to specific DNA sequences and inhibit transcription. Any step of gene expression may be modulated, from the DNA-RNA transcription step to post-translational modification of a protein. The following is a list of stages where gene expression is regulated, the most extensively utilised point is Transcription Initiation: Chromatin domains.

A particular cell has a mutation that causes it to make defective centromeres. What would you expect to occur during mitosis for
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Chromosomes will not align at the equator of the cell, and subsequently will not separate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cellular division that results in daughter cells with identical copies of the genetic material as the parent cell. Mitosis is characterized by different stages viz: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. The centromere is a very important part of the cell during division as it produces microtubules that grows out and bind to the kinetochore of each chromosome, hence, aligning them at the CELL PLATE (cell equator) and subsequently pulls them apart to opposite poles. This alignment and pulling apart occurs during METAPHASE and ANAPHASE respectively.

Mutation is any change that occurs in the nuceleotide sequence of the genetic material (DNA). If a change/mutation occurs leading to a defective or non-functional centromere, the centromere will no longer be able to produce microtubules that will bind to the kinetochores of each chromosome. Therefore, the chromosomes will be unable to align at the equator/middle of the cell and most importantly, inability to separate to opposite poles, which is the main point of Mitosis.

olganol [36]

Answer:    d. reverted to washing the coins instead, in accordance with its natural approach to food.

Explanation:

Timulus discrimination is the tendency to lack a conditioned response to a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus. A higher order conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus comes to act as a conditioned stimulus when combined with another stimulus that already evokes a conditioned response.
