Answer:

The correct answer will be option-formation of heterochromatin

Explanation:

Methylation of DNA is the epigenetic mechanism which controls the expression of a gene by adding a methyl group to the cytosine bases in eukaryotic DNA.

The methylation of DNA converts the cytosine residues to the  5-methylcytosine catalysed by DNA methyltransferase enzyme. This results in the silencing of the gene and transcription get switched off.

Studies have shown that DNA methylation is involved in the formation and maintenance of the heterochromatin structure which is the condensed form of the chromatin in which transcription is switched off.

Thus, the formation of heterochromatin is the correct answer.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died

Explanation:

The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.

In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
