Many plant species are "winter annuals" - their seeds germinate in summer, and the plants grow vegetatively in fall and are dorm

ant in winter. Many plants will not flower in spring unless they have experienced a long cold period (this process is called "vernalization". In the plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, vernalization is an epigenetically regulated phenomenon. The gene Flowering Locus C (FLC) encodes a transcriptional repressor that prevents expression of flowering genes. When the weather is warm, the histones in FLC are acetylated, but when temperatures drop, a histone deacetylase gradually removes the histones until, after an extended period of cold, the FLC gene is silenced. At this point, flowering genes begin to activate. If the weather one winter is unusually warm, such that there is no real extended period of cold, what is the expected result in terms of both FLC inactivation, and flowering?

Answer:

Given condition will lead to the Acetylation and activation of the FLC gene which will help in encoding the repressor protein and preventing the expression of Flowering Gene expression.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Extended cold weather → causes Histone deacetylation of the FLC gene.  

                                                ↓

When the FLC gene is deacetylated, this condition silences the FLC gene.  

                                                 ↓

The FLC gene encodes a repressor that prevents the expression of flowering genes. Silenced FLC gene won't be able to encode the repressor protein, therefore, the Flowering gene will be expressed.

 

If, the weather in winter is unusually warm then → the absence of extended cold temperature

                                                 ↓

Histone of the FLC gene will remain Acetylated thus the FLC gene will be activated.

                                                  ↓

Activated the FLC gene will encode the Repressor protein which will prevent the expression of the Flowering gene.

                                                    ↓

                                        No Blossom

What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic rocks?
ki77a [65]
Recrystallization. During the process of metamorphism, the particle size of the rock may change by a process called recrystallization. For instance, the small calcite crystals in limestone, a sedimentary rock, change into larger crystals during formation of the metamorphic rock marble.

After the aswan high dam was built on the nile river, the rate of parasitic worm infection doubled in the human population near
valentinak56 [21]

After the aswan high dam was built on the nile river, the rate of parasitic worm infection doubled in the human population near the dam. as a result of building the dam, the flow of the nile changed. this changed the habitat, which resulted in an increase in its population of a certain aquatic snail. the snails, which were infected, released larvae of the worm. these larvae then infected humans. this situation best illustrates that:

A. the influence of humans on a natural system is always negative in the long term

B. the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts

C. human alteration of an ecosystem does not need to be studied to avoid ecological disaster

D. human alteration of an ecosystem will cause pollution and loss of finite resources.

The correct answer is option (B) the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts.

The biosphere refers to the biologically inhabited part of the earth in association with the atmosphere, hydrosphere and the lithosphere. Human beings have been influenciung this natural system of biosphere causing numerous negative impacts. This finally affects all the living organisms of the biosphere.

Human activities like industrialization, construction of dams, chemicals based agriculture and others have been affecting the habitats. Construction of the dams changes the habitat. This change in the habitat can endanger or increase certain species. The change in the habitat can affect the abiotic factors as well as the biotic factors. In case of the river Nile, it increased the snails which were infected by the larvae of parasitic worms. Thus, doubling the infection of parasitic worms in the humans.

When the natural system of rivers have been influenced by the humans, it always has the negative effects on the life.

A student wants to view a cell’s mitochondria. Which of the following microscopes would show a mitochondria’s internal structure
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Transmission Electron Microscope would show a mitochondria’s internal structure in the greatest detail

Explanation:

The TEM is used to visualise the internal structure of the cells. This works when an electron beam of light passes through the object or the sample, it shows a clear presence of the organelles inside the cell. The TEM uses the energetic electron which provides the morphological as well as compositional and crystallographic features of the cell. Its maximum potential is about 1 nanometre. Among the most powerful microscope for studying the internal organelles of the cell TEM is one.
