Answer:

The chromatin structure undergoes various modification for proper gene expression. Histone acetylation, histone deacetylation, methylation and sumoylation are important for the epigenetics.

Epigenetics may be defined as the change in the genome that affect gene activity, its expression and heritable phenotypic change of the organisms. The DNA sequence is not altered in the epigenetic modification but the gene expression has been modified by methylation or acetylation.

Freckles is dominant over no freckles. what percentage of offspring would be predicted to have freckles if the father was hetero
rusak2 [61]

The answer would be 50%.


Let's make a Punnett square for this:

Let F - Freckles

f - no freckles


Father: Ff

Mother: ff (She has no freckles, meaning she does not have the dominant allele)


F f

f Ff ff

f Ff ff


The count would then be 2/4 with freckles and 2/4 without freckles. So the percentage of would be 50% with freckles and 50% without freckles.

Klio2033 [76]

The given section of DNA is known as a gene.

Explanation:

The basic physical as well as fundamental unit of heredity is known as gene.  Genes are built with DNA. According to Human Genome Project human have estimated between 20000 to 25000 genes. In Every person two copies of each gene are present which is carried from parent.

In most of the genes are common almost every people but less than 1% of genes are different between people. The role of gene is to determine the trait- how we look and also other stuff about us.
