Transcriptionally inactive regions of the genome are typically heavily methylated. True or false?

polet [3.4K]3 years ago

The answer is true.

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA, more precisely to its nucleotides adenine or cytosine (they are methylated) via enzymes called DNA methyltransferases. This process as a result can change the activity of a DNA. For example, if DNA of gene promoter is methylated gene transcription is repressed. The opposite process is DNA demethylation.

So, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism meaning that gene activity can be changed and inherited that way, but the sequence  of DNA remains the same.

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the location of the hydrogens bonds in DNA
asambeis [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered based on general knowledge of the DNA structure.

Hydrogen bonds in a DNA are located between the nucleotides that holds the double stranded DNA molecules.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living cells. The DNA molecule is made up of nucleotides monomers. However, since the DNA molecule is double-stranded, the nucleotides are of two chains composed of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

The two chains of nucleotides in a DNA molecule are called strands. Each strand is bonded to one another by the nucleotides using complementary base pairing i.e. A-T, G-C. The bonds between the nucleotidew of each strand is called HYDROGEN BOND.

Hence, HYDROGEN BONDS in a DNA molecule is located in between two nucleotides of each strand. That is, hydrogen bond holds Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine.

Cerebral palsy was once thought to be the result of something that happened during the birth procedure, but we now know that it
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cerebral Palsy is a brain injury it occurs while the brain is developing this could be before, during, or after birth. Mutation which is a sudden heritable change in the genome of an individual can result into cerebral palsy when the child is still developing. Mutation affects the gene changing it from it normal state to an abnormal one some mutation can be beneficial but for palsy it is detrimental one affecting the growth and development of the child.

severe jaundice in the infant could also lead to cerebral palsy in an infant child

This damage affects child’s muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture and balance.

It can also impact a child’s fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and oral motor functioning
