Which checkpoint requires a cell to be of adequate size in order to move to the next phase in the cell cycle?

Ans. (a.) g 1/s checkpoint.

Cell cycle checkpoints are defined as control mechanisms to regulate cell divisions in eukaryotic cells. G1 (gap 1) phase represents first phase of cell division, during which cell prepares to divide by growing its size, synthesizing mRNA and proteins.

Cell cycle checkpoint that checks whether the dividing cell size is adequate or not in order to move in next cell cycle phase is G1/S checkpoint.

After passing G1/S checkpoint, cell enters to the next phase, known as S phase (synthesis phase), in which DNA replication takes place.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Cells grow during both Gap 1 and 2, but since we've to choose a proper answer, I'd go for A, the G1 checkpoint, the first one.

Explain why the type of energy is different for photosynthesis and respiration.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
<span>The biggest difference between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis only occurs in plants and some bacteria while respiration occurs in all living organisms. They do share one big similarity and that is that the process of photosynthesis is actually the same process only it is completed in reverse.</span>

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hin
Kay [80]

The correct answers are:  

  • Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.
  • DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.
  • Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.
  • Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells.  
  • Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.

Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of histone protein that can affect gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers.The most common modifications are methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation. All of them affect the binding affinity between histones and DNA and thus loosening (gene activation) or tightening (gene repression) the condensed DNA.

Histone methylation is a transfer of methyl group by histone methyltransferases to lysine or arginine amino acid of protein. Effect of methylation depends on the type of protein that is modified. Demethylation is the reverse process.

Histone acetylation is the process of adding of an acetyl group(by  histone acetyltransferases) to histone proteins and it can also activate or inhibit the gene expression. Deacetilation is reverse process.
