Answer:

The correct answer is A. Effectively, aldosterone is synthesized from cholesterol.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone from the mineralocorticoid family, synthesized in the glomerular area of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. It acts in the conservation of sodium, in the secretion of potassium and in the increase of blood pressure. Its secretion is decreased in Addison's disease and increased in Conn's syndrome. Aldosterone, as well as all steroid hormones, is synthesized from cholesterol.

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply.
Crank

Ans.

Chromatin molecules are made up of DNA and histone proteins. Modification of chromatin structure include covalent, post-translational changes in histone proteins, present in chromation. Acetylation and methylation are two important histone modifications that affect structure of chromatin molecules.

Acetylation involves addition of an acetyl group to histones that increases transcription of DNA by loosen the association between DNA and nucleosome.

Methylation involves addition of a methyl group to histones that results in condensation of chromatin molecule and thus, decreases transcription of DNA.

Both acetylation and methylation are reversible processes.

Many chromatin modifications are genetic, means they can pass from one generation to another generation, called epigenetic modifications.

Thus, options B), C), D), E), and F).

Explain why studying microorganisms such as bacteria can help scientists understand how evolution works.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: New research shows that colonies of Escherichia coli can demonstrate a form of learning.

Explanation: Bacterial colonies can evolve the ability to anticipate changes in their immediate environment, say researchers led by Saeed Tavazoie at Princeton University in New Jersey. Other types of bacteria could too. This skill could give them the edge over other bacteria that merely adapt themselves to current conditions.
