Answer:
1. d. changes in the methylation patterns of <em>loci</em> involved in growth and metabolic disease
2. b. differences in the expression of metabolic genes
d. changes in histone acetylation patterns
Explanation:
Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression which are not dependent on DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms involve DNA methylation, histone modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc) and regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) pathways. These epigenetic mechanisms work together and mutually reinforce each other in order to modulate gene expression (either by activating or suppressing gene expression). In consequence, transcriptome data (e.g., genes differentially expressed in particular tissues/cells or stages of development) is an important piece of evidence indicating the existence of epigenetic modulation.
Answer: different organisms have different chromosome numbers
Explanation: eukaryote cells have more than one chromosome
chromosomes are present in most cells all the time (not in erythrocytes), but cannot be visualised except during telophase of mitosis or meisosis
bacterial cells don’t have a nucleus
Answer:
C. Allow the individual to survive better and reproduce more in the environment
Answer:
Regulated gene expression is crucial to the proper growth & survival of an organism and cannot be over-emphasized. Without it, the genetic code of a chromosome is the equivalent of a computer data file without the appropriate application to run it.
A neutron has no charge
<em>NEUT</em>RAL = NONE
well thats how I remember it anyway
SO ITS NUMBER 2
