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

t(s) Select all that apply. Deacetylation of histone tails in chromatin loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA. 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.

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.

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)
