Gram negative and Gram positive refers to if bacteria retain the Gram Stain or not. Gram positive do. Gram negative do not. Gram positive bacteria will appear purple/blueish after staining. <span>It is important because whether a bacteria is Gram positive or negative helps determine the species, characteristics of disease, and the best antibiotics to use in treatment. </span>

Jill stepped on a tack. Which part of the central nervous system caused her foot to move off the tack quickly in a reflex respon
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.

The answer is <span>c. mutualism.
</span>
<span>Mutualism is a relationship between two different species in which both species have benefits. In this example, ants benefit because they feed on aphids' wastes while aphids benefit because ants provide them protection.
