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.

What is FAD in Biology​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide

Explanation:

"Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is synthesized from riboflavin and two molecules of ATP. Riboflavin is phosphorylated by ATP to give riboflavin 5′-phosphate (also called flavin mononucleotide, FMN). FAD is then formed from FMN by the transfer of an AMP moiety from a second molecule of ATP."

Why do we need to eat
prisoha [69]
A food is something that provides nutrients. Nutrients are substances that provide: energy for activity, growth, and all functions of the body such as breathing, digesting food, and keeping warm; materials for the growth and repair of the body, and for keeping the immune system healthy. (So we don’t die:))

Describe the geoscience processes that help to change Earth’s surfaces over time.
Kisachek [45]
Geoscience processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition are constantly changing Earth's surface. The planet's systems interact to shape Earth's history and future. By mapping the natural events in an area and understanding the geological forces involved, future events can be predicted and forecasted.
