Answer:

The correct answer is A) Histone deacetylation generally decreases gene expression.

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins that are responsible for the condensation of chromatin, which is directly linked to the capacity that a gene has to be expressed. The more condensed a gene is, the less expressible it becomes.

In order to regulate the gene expression, histones can suffer from many modifications that can change their conformation and the expressiveness of specific genes.

<u>Histone acetylation is linked with an increase of gene expression; while deacetylation and methylation decrease gene expression.</u>

The lac operon in E.coli regulates genes that code for enzymes required for breakdown of lactose. The lac operon is____ operon t
user100 [1]

Ans.

Lac (lactose) operon in a type of bacterial operon, which shows a cluster of genes that are regulated by a single promoter. It is composed of an operator, promoter, a terminator, and three structural genes (lacA, lacY, and lacZ), which are responsible for the transport and breakdown of lactose.

The lac operon is an inducible operon as it gets activated in the presence of lactose and expressed its functional genes in the form of proteins (or enzymes) for lactose metabolism.  

Thus, the correct answer to be fill in first blank is 'inducible' and in second blank is 'lactose.'

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

C. Cholesterol

Explanation:

Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.

Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.  

Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.

If 100,000 kJ of energy is available to the producers, how much energy is available to the secondary consumers in this food pyra
spayn [35]

If 100,000 kJ of energy is available to the producers, 1000 energy is available to the secondary consumers in this food pyramid.

<h3>What is 10 law of energy flow explain?</h3>

According to ten per cent law only 10 per cent of the energy entering a certain trophic level of organisms is known for transfer to the next higher trophic level.

Thus, 1000 energy is available to the secondary consumers in this food pyramid.
