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.

3. The mechanism in which organisms best suited for their environment survive<br> and reproduce.

The mechanism in which organisms best suited for their environment survive

and reproduce <u>NATURAL SELECTION.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

When individuals in a population compete for resources or live in their environment, the individuals with the slightest advantage over the others have an increased chance of reaching maturity and  reproducing to passing down their genes to the next generations.

Natural selection works on the variations of the population to ‘select’ the best alleles of genes in the population that offer an advantage in ‘survival for the fittest’. This how natural selection fits a population to its environment. The greater the variation within a population, the higher its capacity to adapt to changes in the environment.

what is meant by an atp cycle and why is it an important frequent event in cells? how does this involve adp
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Please find the explanation to this question below

Explanation:

The ATP cycle is the series of reactions involving glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that produces/synthesizes ATP in living cells. These processes collectively is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Glycolysis produces 2ATP molecules, Krebs cycle produces 2ATP while the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) produces 34ATP molecules.

This cycle of ATP as explained above is an important frequent event in cells because all organisms need energy to carry out their metabolic activities. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule that stores and releases energy for use by the cells, hence, it needs to be produced on a frequent basis.

ATP can be likened to a charged battery ready to release its stored energy. The energy is stored in the phosphate bonds that makes up its structure. When ATP releases its energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). However, ADP is a reactant in the ATP cycle, which is phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphate (Pi) and catalyzes by ATP synthase to form ATP.
