In a line of human cells grown in culture, a geneticist isolates a temperature-sensitive mutation at a locus that encodes an ace

tyltransferase enzyme; at temperatures above 38°C, the mutant cells produce a nonfunctional form of the enzyme. What would be the most likely effect of this mutation if the cells were grown at 40°C?

Answer:

A general decrease in transcriptional activation

Explanation:

When acetyl groups are added to histone proteins by acetyltransferase enzymes, the 30-nm chromatin fiber will not be formed because the proteins are prevented from doing so. This further destabilizes the chromatin structure and allows the occurrence of transcription. However, raising the cells to  40°C does not allow the acetyltransferase enzyme to function and hence the acetyl group will be hindered from being added to the histone protein which is the main target of the enzymes. Thus, transcription activation will be blocked because the chromatin and nucleosomes would remain stabilized.

R-related species have a short life span and an early reproduction cycle? t or f
GREYUIT [131]

It is true that r-related species have a short life span and an early reproduction cycle. R-related species also known as  r-strategist have a short and simple life span. Due to their simple life span, their nutrient exchange rate with the environment is rapid. Unlike K-selected species, they have the ability to reproduce at a young age. They reproduce a large number of off-springs, but many of their off-springs tend to die before attainment of their reproductive age.
