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.

_____ allows populations to adapt to the abiotic and biotic conditions where they live.

denis-greek [22]

Natural selection is what allows a population to adapt because the animals that adapt are the ones that mate and pass along their genes. Without natural selection, evolution or adaptation would not be able to occur.

patriot [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "Many species that moved into North America from South America outcompeted the endemic taxa and still exist today".

Explanation:

The Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) was an historical period at which numerous species from South America migrated to North America, and numerous species from North America migrated to South America because of the formation of the Isthmus of Panama. During this event, many species that moved into North America from South America outcompeted the endemic taxa and still exist today. The species that successfully immigrated to South America and exist today were mostly small mammals, such as armadillos and opossums.
