In the heterozygous state (w+ / w), a variegated eye is produced, with white and red patches. How might one explain position-eff

Answer:

2. The white patches are caused by the deacetylation of the histones associated with the DNA of the w + allele.

3. The red patches are caused by the acetylation of the histones associated with the DNA of the w + allele.

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

How might one explain position-effect variegation in terms ofhistone acetylation and/or deacetylation? Select all thatapply.

1. The white patches are caused by the acetylation of the histonesassociated with the DNA of the w + allele.

2. The white patches are caused by the deacetylation of thehistones associated with the DNA of the w + allele.

3. The red patches are caused by the acetylation of the histonesassociated with the DNA of the w + allele.

4. The red patches are caused by the deacetylation of the histonesassociated with the DNA of the w + allele.

In the W+/W State variegated eye is produced, however in reality the W+ allele causes a red eye colour whereas the W allele causes a white eye.

The reason for production of variegated eyes is chromosomal rearrangement.

Due to the chromosomal rearrangement the W+ gene's position gets changed and it moves from a region of euchromatin to heterochromatin and this position affect leads to red and white patches in the eye.

The heterochromatin is silent region of the genome which does not encode for any product and this is caused by histone deacetylation whereas the histone acetylation makes the chromosomes more accessible and contributes the euchromatin region.

What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? Continuous
Volgvan

Continuous conduction takes place in unmyelinated axon.

Explanation:

Based on the presence and absence of myelin sheath, the neurons had been classified as myelinated and non-myelinated neurons respectively.

In myelinated neurons the transmission of impulse takes place only at the non myelinated region called nodes of Ranvier. Due to this, the conduction in Myelinated neuron is saltatory.

The conduction in non-myelinated neuron takes place throughout the length of axon and it is continuous.

Saltatory conduction is faster than continuous conduction.

How it’s possible to compress a given amount of air into a smaller space?
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A gas is one of the three states of matter on earth and in the universe.

Gases are easily compressible and they can fit into just any container available.

This is because of their fascinating properties.

  • The particles of gases are very far apart and are held together by weak attractive forces unlike liquids and solids.
  • Gases are always in constant motion and their particles are random.
  • They do not have a fixed shape and structure.
  • When pressure is applied on them, they are easily compressed and fit into any container they are placed.
