Epigenetics refers to a special kind of hereditary mechanism. Epigenetic changes do not change the DNA nucleotide sequence, yet

their effect on gene expression can last for several generations. In one surprising study, it was found that the grandsons of men who suffered a famine were less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. The experience of famine made some cardio-protective change in the sperm of those grandfathers that was passed on. What type of change was likely responsible?
A. histone acetylation or DNA methylation
B. Phosphatase levels
C. ubiquitin tagging

<u>Answer:</u>

The type of change that was responsible was “histone acetylation or DNA methylation”.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Histone acetylation is the process that involves the epigenetic adjustments that functions in the transcription process while regulating DNA.
  • Histone acetylation or DNA methylation is the major component of the gene regulation while passing from one generation to another.
  • The Acetyl groups are hooked up to lysine’s in histone tails so their charges play a vital role to avoid the histone tail to bind with the other molecules.

Viruses _____.
Montano1993 [528]

viruses are tiny bundles of genetic material which is carried in a viral coat.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The virus is generally a parasite that needs a host to become active and to reproduce. It cannot reproduce without the host.  
  • The tiny bundle consists of genetic material and protein. The virus consists of capsid and nucleic acid. This capsid is said to be the protein coat.  
  • This capsid consists of either  RNA or DNA. virus replicate themself within the host body by using its genetic material along with the mechanism of the host.  
  • Thus after replicating the virus need to get out of host cell, It is performed by two types budding or lysis( bursting the host cell ).

How can bacteria become drug resistant and how that impacts humans and healthcare ? ⚠️!worth 30 points!⚠️ helppp
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria

The only process that can change a gene's dna and therefore give rise to new genetic variations in a species is __________.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Hello Littlefoot2645. I do believe the answer would be that of the process of "mutation," thus it occurs by human interference, specifically, although, initially, naturally-speaking, only occurring by natural selection in onslaught of period time frames.
