Crops are protected from disease-causing fungi by use of fungicides or by the use of genetically engineered fungi-resistant crop

s. Which statement BEST describes how the two techniques differ in reducing fungal infestations of crop plants?
A) Fungicides kill plants infected with fungi, while genetic engineering modifies fungal DNA.
B) Fungicides kill the source of food for fungi, while genetic engineering helps to make fungi-infected plants edible.
C) Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.
D) Fungicides change fungal DNA, while genetic engineering helps the crops and the fungi to form a symbiotic relationship.

Correct answer: C). Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.  

Fungicide is a chemical substance that is known to cause toxicity in fungi in order to kill them. Its use can help to reduce the number of fungal infection that causes great loss to plants and its productivity.

In genetic engineering, the DNA of plants is altered in such a way that it produces a toxic protein, which will kill the fungi when it tries to infect them or slow down the growth of the plant.

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hin
Kay [80]

The correct answers are:  

  • Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.
  • DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.
  • Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.
  • Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells.  
  • Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.

Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of histone protein that can affect gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers.The most common modifications are methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation. All of them affect the binding affinity between histones and DNA and thus loosening (gene activation) or tightening (gene repression) the condensed DNA.

Histone methylation is a transfer of methyl group by histone methyltransferases to lysine or arginine amino acid of protein. Effect of methylation depends on the type of protein that is modified. Demethylation is the reverse process.

Histone acetylation is the process of adding of an acetyl group(by  histone acetyltransferases) to histone proteins and it can also activate or inhibit the gene expression. Deacetilation is reverse process.

What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA sequence ATA<br> CGC TAA*
Darina [25.2K]
Complementary RNA (cRNA) is a copy of a strand of RNA that will bind to the appropriate region of the original molecule. If the original RNA stand had a base sequence of AUU, for example, the sequence of the cRNA strand would be UAA.

Scientists use DNA sequencing to understand relationships among life on Earth. The chart illustrates differences between five sp
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

With respect to the differences in the DNA sequence of six species, including the human one, it is true that the DNA sequences may vary but the aminoacid sequences are identical.

Explanation:

Options for this question:

  • <em>The DNA sequences may vary but the amino acid sequences are identical. </em>
  • The nitrogen bases in the nucleotides must also be different in each.
  • The process in producing additional DNA, replication, is identical in all six.
  • The process of producing DNA, or replication, varies due to the differences in the DNA codes.

The different species that exist have specific genomes for each of them, this is the <u>genetic information contained in the DNA varies from one species to another</u>, as can be seen in the scheme (see image). However, the genetic code is universal, and does not vary from one species to another.

The genetic code is found in the RNA molecule and is a sequence of nucleotides that, organized in triplets (codons), are responsible for the synthesis of specific amino acids. An RNA molecule contains the information necessary for protein synthesis.

The scheme shows the differences of five species with respect to the human, based on the respective DNA sequences. But what it does not show is a universally accepted truth, that the nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid is the same for each of these species.
