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.

<span>When the genes propagate from one area to another. 
The founder effect happens when genetic diversity declines due to an external larger group of organism invades a set of current living population. An example of this process is when the British colonies invaded the Mesoamerican continent where native americans lived and were outrun by the British colones, especially since many wars were made and ethnic cleansing. </span>

Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your ans
dusya [7]

Answer:

Incorrect

Explanation:

In the bone modelling process, osteoblasts a responsible for bone formation and osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption. In the young adult during growth, the formation of bone exceeds the resorption of bone to maintain bone mass. Therefore,

As we get older, bone formation decreases due to reduction in osteoblastic activity and numbers and bone resorption increases as a result of sex hormone deprivation, this will result in decreased bone mass (osteoporosis). Therefore, osteoclastic activity would have to exceed osteoblastic activity in order or osteoporosis to develop
