Answer:

Potential targets:

1- DNA methyltransferases

2- Chromatin modifiers such as histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, histone methyltransferases, etc.

3- Components of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery such as Dicer, Argonaute, etc.

Explanation:

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of any heritable change in the phenotype that does not involve modifications in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms can be classified into three major types: 1-DNA methylation, 2-histone modifications (e.g., acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc), and 3-regulatory non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs, siRNAs, etc) that modulate target gene expression via the RNA interference pathway. There are different types of proteins that are involved in these complex epigenetic mechanisms, and those cited above represent only some examples that can be used as therapeutic targets.

What is the process of protein synthesis
gulaghasi [49]
The process of protein synthesis involves two steps such as transcription and translation. In the process of transcription the encoded information in the DNA is transcripts or encoded into messenger RNA or mRNA inside the nucleus. This mRNA then comes out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the process of translation the mRNA molecule attach with the ribosomes and tRNA molecules to synthesise the protein.

Como aseguramos que en la mitosis la nueva célula es idéntica a la célula madre ?!!!
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The daughter cells are genetically identical because mitosis is a process that ensures the equal distribution of the replicated genetic material between these cells

Explanation:

During mitosis, the DNA is duplicated during the interphase (S-phase). Subsequently, the replicated chromosomes are arranged in the center of the parent cell (metaphase) to be finally separated and equally distributed between the daughter cells.
