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 order to impact cell differentiation and proliferation, the insulin receptor substrate 1 must be phosphorylated on a ________
Olin [163]

Answer:

on a tyrosine residue

bind to insulin

Explanation:

The insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) is a signaling protein that can be phosphorylated on multiple tyrosine and serine/threonine residues. IRS1 contains several conserved domains including a pleckstrin (PH) domain and a PTB domain involved in protein phosphorylation and ligand binding. In the first place, IRS1 is phosphorylated on a tyrosine residue, and then IRS1 binds to insulin or the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), thereby activating transduction pathways such as, for example, MAPK/ERK. Moreover, RS1 is also phosphorylated on serine residues, thereby triggering opposite effects in insulin-associated signaling.
