One of the gene variants in the globin family is for myoglobin. While hemoglobin is produced by red blood cells, myoglobin is pr

oduced by muscle cells and doesn't circulate. It's function is to store O2 in order to maintain homeostasis of muscle cells, with respect to oxygen Genetic equivelancy holds that all cells in an organism have all the genes needed. regardless of differentiation into cell type. Which of the following best describes why red blood cells don't produce myoglobin, even though they have the gene to do so?
a. None of these answers are correct
b. Chromatin remodeling
c. Alternative splicing
d. RNA interferance
e. Post-transcriptional control

Answer:

b. Chromatin remodeling

Explanation:

During initial stages in RBCs, the myoglobin gene expression is restricted through chromatin remodeling. <u>Chromatin remodelers which belong to CHD family are involved in chromosome condensation which mask the euchromatin portion of chromosomes containing genes for myoglobin expression with the help of histone proteins.</u> This leads to the masking of genes of myoglobin genes in RBCs and their expression does not take place.  

Note: Mature red blood cells (RBCs) are dead cells and their only function is to transport the oxygen and nutrients to various body parts so they don't need to express any other gene than hemoglobin. RBCs become dead during later stages of their maturation, at that time their entire nucleus is degenerated but before doing that RBCs synthesize enough copies of hemoglobin gene product. This process is known as gene diminution.

A group of scientists is studying the internal parts of a cell. Which microscope is most appropriate for these scientists to use
Lady bird [3.3K]
The most appropriate microscope for studying the internal parts of the cell is ELECTRON MICROSCOPE. The correct option is B.
Electron microscope, which is a compound microscope is usually used to study the internal environment  of the cell because of the easiness with which one can easily distinguish the cell organelles from one another. Electron microscope gives great clarification of the cellular components and allow scientists to observe minute details about cellular structures. Electron microscope usually magnify specimens to one million times of their real sizes.

Which of the following statements is true?
Paraphin [41]

Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.

Explanation:

  • Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
  • Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
  • A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
  • A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
  • The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
  • the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
  • The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
  • A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
