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.

Accumulation flooding occurs because the ground is completely _____ and there is no longer a zone of _______.
maw [93]

Answer:

Accumulation flooding occurs because the ground is completely filled with water and there is no longer a zone of dry land.

Explanation:

Flood is the overflow of water on the land which is usually dry throughout the year. It occurs when more water comes in the river due to rainfall or breaking of dam. But mostly flood occurs, due to melting of ice on the poles because of global warming. Global warming refers to the increase in average temperature due to presence of greenhouse gases such as carbondioxode, methane and water vapors etc in the atmosphere.

stiks02 [169]

Step one: Travel approximately 18 inches up the underside of the branch you are removing. Cut up about halfway through the branch.

Step two: Move to the top side of the branch. Choose a location an inch further out from your first cut. Carefully cut down until the branch breaks free.

Step three: Find the branch collar on your trunk. This is stem tissue around the base of the branch. . Make a complete cut with a 45-degree angle kicking out from the base of the tree.
