Researchers studied mice embryos to determine whether the cells of the ear bones originated from the same embryonic cells as the

cells that form the jaw in other vertebrates. Why would the researchers use mice instead of opossums or humans? Do the results from mice tell you something about your own ears? Why or why not?

The researchers will use mice instead of opossums or humans to determine whether the cells of the ear bones originated from the same embryonic cells as the cells that form the jaw in other vertebrates because in this type of experiment, organisms that are ideal are the ones that have a short life span, easy to be researched on and easy to mantain.

It will be very tedious and demanding to use opossums and humans in this type of practical experiment because,it is against the culture and norms guilding human living and existence to use humans as model organisms,opossums as well are very bad model organisms because unlike the mice,opossums are long lived and it will be very difficult to raise and maintain an opossum in a laboratory.

Humans and mice are both mammals just that human is a higher mammal but they share similar features in terms of pattern of development,though there is a clear difference during their early development,so because of the common ancestry shared by the mice and humans,the result of the experiment on the mice with share a close similarity with the pattern that is expected in humans.

Digestion of nutrients begins in varying places. For carbohydrates it begins in the ________, for proteins in the _____ and for
aniked [119]

The correct answer for this question is 'Mouth, Stomach, Small Intestine'.

what is Digestion?

Digestion is the process of breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water soluble molecules for absorption is called as digestion

The digestion of Carbohydrates usually takes place in small intestine but the digestion process starts in the mouth by the help of salivary amylase present in the saliva. The complete digestion takes place in small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes called α-glucosidase and amylase

The protein digestion takes place in the stomach as the Ph conditions are favourable for the digestion of proteins the stomach walls release pepsin enzyme for the synthesis of proteins the protein digestion also takes place in small intestine.

Lipids are mostly digested in the small intestines by the help of bile and pancreatic lipases the lipids get  broken down to fatty acids and monoglycerides for easier absorption this process of breaking down fats is called as Emulsification

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.
