Which of the following modifications are most likely to result in the formation of euchromatin?

1 answer:

3 0

Euchromatic is the less densely packed regions of DNA that are accessible to transcription proteins and enzymes like RNA polymerase. Euchromatic have fewer nucleosomes (as a result of fewer histone complexes), unlike heterochromatic regions.

Explanation:

Acetylation of lysine residues in histones removes the positive charges of the residues that allow the histones tails to interact with the negatively-charged phosphates of DNA. This reduced interaction means fewer nucleosomes in the DNA region hence a more relaxed state (euchromatin) of DNA.

DNA methylation, on the other, is the addition of a methyl group to CpG regions of DNA. This makes the DNA more interactive with histone tails. The regions, therefore, become tightly packed into nucleosomes hence making it condensed and inaccessible to proteins and enzymes like RNA polymerase.

What prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium

irina1246 [14]

The Mitral valve which is also known as left atrioventricular prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium.

Explanation:

Human heart is four chambered.
Two of these are receiving chambers known as atria and the other two are distributing chamber known as Ventricles.
Atria are superior chambers and ventricles are inferior chambers.
The heart has four valves broadly grouped as Atrioventricular valves and Semi lunar valves.
Atrioventricular valves allows flow of blood from atria to ventricle. These are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.
Semi-lunar valves allow blood to pass out of the heart. These include the pulmonary and aortic valves.
The pulmonary valve allows blood to flow from right ventricle to the heart while aortic valve allows blood to flow from left ventricle to the Aorta.
The Tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle allows blood to flow from right atrium to the right ventricle.
The Bicuspid valve ( Mitral valve) located between the left atrium and left ventricle allows the blood flow from left atria to left ventricle.
Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood and thus prevent its back flow.
