In later chapters, you will learn more about the regulation of gene expression. One way to regulate gene expression is to make c

hanges to the histone proteins to alter how tightly the DNA is coiled and wrapped. The more tightly coiled and wrapped a particular region of DNA is, the less likely it is that the genes in that region will be expressed. Bearing this in mind, how tightly do you think regions of heterochromatin are compacted?

Answer:

Highly condensed.

Explanation:

The different region of the eukaryotic chromosome are euchromatin region and heterochromatin region. The heterochromatin region is genetically inactive whereas euchromatin region is highly active.

The heterochromatin region is generally present at the periphery of the nucleus. This region is transcriptionally inactive. This is because of the compactness of DNA. DNA is packed very tightly or present in highly condensed form with the histones.

Thus, the answer is highly condensed.

In addition to water, what things are necessary for an aquifer to form?
Levart [38]

The answer is; D

The porous rock is able to absorb water from precipitation. The water resides in the pores of the rock. The impermeable rock later, which does not allow water to pass through it, allows more water to hold in the porous rock and making the local water table to rise. The water in the porous rock, therefore, can be accessed through wells or a water spring can develop.

What are the three main ways that common ancestry may be shown through homologies
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Homology is a study of similar characters found in two species because of common ancestry.

Explanation:

1.Morphological homology: Species placed under same taxonomic category exhibit similar anatomical structures.

2.Ontogenetic homology: Species belongs to same taxonomic category embryological similarities

3.Molecular homology: Species show molecular similarities such as DNA,RNA and protein

An example of homology is seen in the skeletal strycture of vertebrates. That is arm of a human,leg of a cat,fin of a whale and wing of a bat.
