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]2 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.

If the density of water is 1 g/ml, what is the mass of 3ml of water?<br><br> PLEASE HELP
SCORPION-xisa [38]

You can use dimensional analysis to figure this out.

=3\ ml × \frac{1g}{ml}

= 3 grams

If done correctly, ml and ml will cancel out, leaving you with grams.

If you don't know dimensional analysis, simply multiply <em>3 ml</em> by <em>1 grams </em>and that should still get you 3 grams.
