I believe that the basic unit of structure and function in protists and monerans is the cell. This is because cells are basic unit of structure and function of all living things. A cell is the smallest unit of life, it is the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
Answer:
Same Phase at room temp
Explanation:
Here we have a metal and two nonmetals (sulfur and iodine).
They are all solid at room temperature. Metals form cations and are good conductors of electricity. They are not from the same family, therefore, they do not have the same number of valence electrons.
Answer:
A. The chromatin near cis-regulatory sequences will be more closed and there will be less transcription.
Explanation:
In the presence of histones, the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA like promoter, enhancers etc. are not exposed. The function of the histone acetyltransferases (HATS) is to cause chromosome decondensation i.e. removal of histones from the DNA so that transcription of the DNA could occur. Histone acetyltransferases (HATS) cause acetylation of lysine amino acid of the histone proteins. Acetyl group is negatively charged so the acetylation of histone proteins leads to the removal of their positive charge which ultimately leads to the decrease in the interaction between N terminal of histones and negatively charged phosphate group of the DNA molecule. As soon as histones are removed from the DNA where cis-regulatory sequences are located, the DNA becomes accessible for transcription.
But here a drug has been added which blocks the activity of histone acetyltransferases (HATS) in cancer cells. So it is quite evident that in these cells, histones will not get removed from the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA so the DNA will be more closer or tightly packed as a result of which less transcription will occur.

Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question and I hope this help! :)
