Chromatin structure and role of chemical modifications of DNA and histones, as the first "on" switch for turning on eukaryotic g

ene expression. Define the term epigenetics.
Biology
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A musk ox and the Alstroemeria flower have physical structures and organs that have similar functions. Provide two examples of s
gladu [14]

Answer:

Mammals

Birds

Explanation:

The Organs which perform same function and looks but they are different in their structure from each other are called as analogous organs.

Organs are the structures that made up of two or more tissues organized to carry out a particular function.

An organ or bone that appears in different animals with same function is called homologous structure.

Homologous organs have similar origin n basic structure but perform different functions in different organisms. Analogous organs are different in basic structure but perform same functions.

Different animals have bones that appear very similar in form or function and seem to be related.

Examples

The arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale are homologous structures. They are different and have a different purpose, but they are similar sharing common traits.

The forelimbs of all mammals have the same basic bone structure.The structures are similar because they evolved to do the same job.  For example, the wings of bats and birds.

Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte
bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>
