A geneticist introduces a transgene into yeast cells and isolates five independent cell lines in which the transgene has integra

ted into random places in the yeast genome. In four of the lines, the transgene is expressed strongly, but in the fifth there is no expression at all. Which is a likely explanation for the lack of transgene expression in the fifth cell line?A) A transgene integrated into a heterochromatic region of the genome. B) A transgene intergrated into a euchromatic region of the genome. C) The transgene was mutated during the process of integration into the host cell genome D) The host cell lacks the enzymes necessary to express the transgene. E) A transgene integrated into a region of the genome characterized by high histone acetylation

Answer:

A) A transgene integrated into a heterochromatic region of the genome.

Explanation:

This is most likely the reason why the transgene is not expressed in the fifth cell line. It is likely that the transgene was integrated into a heterochromatic region of the genome. Heterochromatin consists of genetically inactive satellite sequences, and many of these are repressed to various extents. Moreover, because this is a tightly packed form of DNA or condensed DNA, it is inaccesible to polymerases and thus not transcribed.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The logging company should go by the rule governing the forest and seek for government permission before cutting down any tree. There are due processes that allows you cut some forest timbers after establishing a new one but this is done with the consent of the government and the agreement that is made between the company and the government. An agreement will be reached on how the cutting can be done to avoid total loss of our forest and areas that can be used.

Going through the right channel before cutting forest trees will help reduce the amount of fines they pay almost all the time they are caught from illegal cutting.

Which explanation is most likely the reason for the evolution of a larger brain in humans? The size of the human brain increases
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Across nearly seven million years, the human brain has tripled in size. The most likely the reason for the evolution of a larger brain in humans is that a larger brain allows humans to solve complex problems. Large, complex brains  enable humans to process and store a lot of information and to interact with each other and with their surroundings better. The  brain we now humans have is the largest and most complex of any living primate.
