Answer:

A. Rock pieces

Explanation:

Abrasion is the breaking down and wearing away of rock material by the mechanical action of other rocks. Three agents of physical weathering that can cause abrasion are moving water, wind and gravity. None of those are agents of abrasion. But Rock pieces are a result of abrasion.

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.

Trees use narrow tubes to transport water upward. Which property of water allows the water to rise in these narrow tubes?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.  

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.
