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.

Discuss some ways in which fruit seeds are dispersed.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The most common way of fruits to be spread is by birds.

Some birds eat the fruit, and when they dispose of its excrements, the seeds into that get spread.

Another way is with fruit near a waterfront and when the fruit falls into water they move away.

Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to come primarily from cfcs rather than from natural sources such as volcanoes because:
Andreyy89

 he answer is because <span>samples of air taken over erupting volcanoes shows that volcanoes contribute a small amount of chlorine in the stratosphere compared to CFCs. Volcanic eruptions account for a large instability of chlorine from land to the atmosphere on a yearly basis. This is in addition to chlorine that enters the atmosphere from sea spray, industrial processes and biological gases which are from CFCs. All of these inputs happen near or at the base of the atmosphere. Very little of the material emitted from volcanoes makes it up into the upper reaches of our atmosphere which is the stratosphere where it could touch the ozone layer. However, most of it is believed to be deposited lower down which is in the troposphere, where it then rained out back to the surface of the earth.</span>

A fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes. Explain how many chromosomes are in its haploid gametes
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Diploid means 2n

Haploid means n

Here we have 2n=8 (because fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes) to get to n which is haploid divide by 2, you get n=4
