True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote

ins more positively charged.

Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.

Answer:

A group of parasites called myxozoans have traditionally been considered simple multicellular protists. However, because these organisms possess stinging cells, some scientists consider them to be animals in the phylum that is named for such cells, the <u>cnidarians</u>.

Explanation:

Cnidarians are animals with radial symmetry, that is, their bodies can be divided, by different planes, into equal parts. It includes hydras, jellyfish, anemones and marine corals. Its body is a kind of sac with an opening (the mouth) surrounded by a circle of tentacles. Some have a dominant jellyfish phase, others polyp, or both. They present defensive nematocysts with stinging action.

A marine layer is an air mass which develops over the surface of a large body of water such as the ocean or large lake in the presence of a temperature inversion. ... As it cools, the surface air becomes denser than the warmer air above it, and thus becomes trapped below it.
