Change in chromatin structure-------Acetylation of histones facilitates transcription

Activity of transcription apparatus------Transcriptional activators increase promoter activity by interacting with the RNAPII holoenzyme

RNA processing---------Alternative splicing produces different transcripts from the same gene.

RNA interference-------A siRNA and the transcript it targets is transcribed from the same gene.

Initiation of translation-------Limited availability of initiation factors prevents translation of mRNA.

What is the theory of natural selection, and why does it occur in an organism? Give an example.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.

Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.

In autotrophic bacteria, where is chlorophyll located? a. In chloroplast membranes b. In the cell wall c. In the nucleoid d. In
ioda

In autotrophic bacteria, chlorophyll is located in the infolded regions of the plasma membrane.

Autotrophic bacteria are those that can synthesize their own food. The energy can be derived either from sunlight or from chemical reactions. Only a few amount of bacteria are autotrophic. The examples of such bacteria are: green sulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, heliobacteria, etc.

Chlorophyll is the green colored pigment involved in the process of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll acts as a reaction center that absorbs the energy from sunlight to initiate the process of photosynthesis. The energy absorbed by other pigments is also transferred to the reaction center.

The pulmonary circulation conveys blood that is ______ in oxygen to the lungs before returning back to the ______ side of the he
Oduvanchick [21]

The pulmonary circulation conveys blood that is low in oxygen to the lungs before returning back to the left side of the heart.

<h3>The pulmonary circulation</h3>

The circulatory system is divided into two main parts namely:

  • pulmonary circulation and

  • systemic circulation.

The pulmonary circulation involves the movement of blood between the lungs and the heart.

Blood from the systemic circulation returns to the right side of the heart where it is pumped through the pulmonary artery into the lungs to be oxygenated.

After oxygenation has taken place in the lungs, the blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
