Answer:

either one of the two alleles  in a diploid individual.

Explanation:

A trait is expressed only when two alleles pair up. Thus, an allele pair during cell division assort independently into two individual alleles so that each gamete receive one of the two allele

For example  

During gamete formation XX and XY allele pairs divide to contribute one allele to each gamete respectively.

Thus, XX allele pair will divide to give X gene to both the gamete

And XY pair will divide to give X gene to one gamete and Y gene to other gamete

Histone acetylation ________ transcription; whereas dna methylation _________ transcription.
sergey [27]

Answer:

<h2>Histone acetylation increase transcription. </h2><h2>Whereas DNA methylation decrease transcription </h2>

Explanation:

Histone acetylation is a transcription-activating modification which occurs by the addition of acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A, to one or more lysine residues at the ε-amino group by the enzyme histone acetyltransferases. Histone acetylation increase transcription.

DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression and DNA become unavailable for transcription . In DNA methylation, DNA become inactive( unavailable for transcription) so that transcription wouldn't occur.
