(a) solute = substance (solid or liquid) in lesser amount, which will [dis]solve into the solvent

(b) solvent = substance (liquid) in larger amount, which [dis]solves the solvent
it's dissolvability is called "solvency"
water is known as the universal solvent because it is abundant on Earth and has a high solvency

(c) solution = the combination of solvent + solute
depending on the saturation of solute within solvent, the solution may appear clear, like the solvent

**think of warm sugar-water (solution), when all the sugar (solute) dissolves into the water (solvent), the solute seems to have disappeared

DNA methylation and histone acetylation are examples of which of the following processes? DNA methylation and histone acetylatio
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Epigenetic phenomena

Explanation:

Epigenetics involves the changes in gene expression which is not as a result of changes in an individual's DNA sequence. In other words, it is a change in an individual's phenotype, without an alteration in the genotype.

It is involved in the normal functioning of cellular processes.

Examples of epigenetics is DNA methylation ( adding of a methyl group to a section of the DNA molecule) and histone modification such as histone acetylation (adding an acetyl group to the histone).

Epigenetic changes can switch off genes, hence, prevent the expression of those genes; it can also turn on genes, hence increase the expression of those genes.

Epigenetic changes can also results to diseases such as cancer.

Do you think the shape of orchids is pure Mendelian inheritance, or is it more complex?
Mandarinka [93]

The genetic base of the shape of orchid is very complex.

Mendelian traits are described as simple traits determined by one gene. The different alleles of the gene contribute to the difference in the trait. This is true for some traits in plants, animals including humans and other organisms, but not for the shape of orchids.

The shape of orchid flowers is determined by the ABCDE group of genes that are responsible for the body plan in plants. These genes are the equivalent of HOX genes of animals.

The protein products of different genes of the ABCDE group interact with each other in complex ways creating different shapes of orchids.
