DNA. We have heard that we are a product of our DNA. But where is it? How do we "get" our DNA? It is passed to us, from our pare

nts, but in what form? Several vocabulary words associated with inheritance are used interchangeably and sometimes, incorrectly. Let's see if you can clear this up for someone just learning about inheritance and cell structure. explain how all are related to inheritance.

Answer:

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material an organism inherited from his or her parents. The offspring gets half the genetic material from and another half from the father.

The parents contributed to the DNA of the child through gametes (egg of the mother and sperm of the father).

Each gamete contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. For example, in humans, each gamete consists of 23 chromosomes (half genetic material).

Egg and sperm fuse to form a zygote and to complete the set of genetic material. For example, the fusion of egg and sperm restores the chromosome number to 46.

The genes or protein-coding sequences of DNA of chromosomes code for traits of an individual. For example, hair color, skin color, height et cetera. It is the reason that we say we are the products of our DNA.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. relaxed pa
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.

Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and are responsible for condensing it to chromatin.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.
