<h2>Epigenetic modification </h2>

Explanation:

A methyl group bound to DNA inhibits transcription of a gene describes an epigenetic modification

Epigenetic modifications include: histone modifications and methylation

Methylation is the main cause of gene silencing for example methylation at lysine residue of histone protein, H4 leads to gene repression

Small silencing RNA molecules are of two types: micro RNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)

miRNA directs degradation of target mRNA when makes perfect complementary while suppress mRNA translation when makes partial or imperfect complementary

siRNA primarily mediates degradation of target RNA

Answer:

<h2>A methyl group bound to DNA molecule inhibits transcription of a gene. </h2>

Explanation:

1. Epigenetic modification: Those changes which do not involve the alterations in the sequence of DNA, means there in no change in DNA sequence, like addition, deletion or such other type of changes in the sequence of nucleotide do not occur

2. Epigenetic describes any  such type of modification of chromosome( which do not change the sequence of nucleotide), especially histone modifications, and these changes may be heritable or not  or associated with a phenotype.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

D. habitat preference

Explanation:

Habitat preference is one of the driving forces for ecological speciation that does not allow interbreeding between the members of a species. In habitat preference, some members of a species have a different preference for habitat than the others. They live in different habitats and do not interbreed. Over generations, these two populations of a species living in different habitats develop genetic variations and interbreed with the members of their own populations only. Gradually, these two populations would develop reproductive isolation and would evolve as two different species.

Explica el impacto del desarrollo de las técnicas moleculares en los sistemas de clasificación de los organismos.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Las técnicas moleculares, especialmente aquellas basadas en la manipulación del material genético, permitieron automatizar el proceso de identificación y clasificación de especies

Explanation:

Las técnicas moleculares usadas para la clasificación de organismos son aquellas principalmente relacionadas a la manipulación de su material genético. En especial, las técnicas de extracción de ADN, amplificación mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) y posterior secuenciación han posibilitado automatizar el proceso de clasificación de organismos. Los marcadores moleculares de ADN basados en secuencias génicas evolutivamente conservadas tales como, por ejemplo, la secuencia del gen Citocromo Oxidasa I (COI) en animales, son ampliamente usados para automatizar este proceso de identificación y clasificación de nuevas especies.
