Answer: Epigenetics

Explanation:

Epigenetics deals mainly with changes that come about as a result of changes in the gene expression including gene products. These changes do not occur as a result of changes in the genetic code. It mainly studies modifications made to gene expression. These include DNA methylation: addition of a methyl group to a region on the DNA molecule preventing some genes from being expressed. Another is Histone modifications: Acetylation, methylation, phosporylation, etc

All these either help in activating transcription or deactivate transcription.

Just by looking at the color of a freshly drawn blood sample, how could you distinguish between blood that is well oxygenated an
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.

Mercury is a toxin that is of significant concern due to biomagnification. Explain how mercury found in an aquatic environment c
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: Mercury has been well known as an environmental pollutant for several decades. As early as the 1950's it was established that emissions of mercury to the environment could have serious effects on human health. These early studies demonstrated that fish and other wildlife from various ecosystems commonly attain mercury levels of toxicological concern when directly affected by mercury-containing emissions from human-related activities. Human health concerns arise when fish and wildlife from these ecosystems are consumed by humans.

During the past decade, a new trend has emerged with regard to mercury pollution. Investigations initiated in the late 1980's in the northern-tier states of the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries found that fish, mainly from nutrient-poor lakes and often in very remote areas, commonly have high levels of mercury. More recent fish sampling surveys in other regions of the U.S. have shown widespread mercury contamination in streams, wet-lands, reservoirs, and lakes. To date, 33 states have issued fish consumption advisories because of mercury contamination.

These continental to global scale occurrences of mercury contamination cannot be linked to individual emissions of mercury, but instead are due to widespread air pollution. When scientists measure mercury levels in air and surface water, however, the observed levels are extraordinarily low.
