Environmental science is a branch of biology focused on the study of the relationships of the natural world and the relationships between organisms and their environments. An example of environmental science is the study of the natural world and how it relates to recycling and mulching.
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.
Answer:
The correct answer is -
1. right-handed
2. right-handed
3. positive
4. left-handed
5. negative
6. negative
Explanation:
In a circular bacterial chromosome, the structure of DNA is a right-handed double helix In a circular bacterial chromosome.
If DNA is twisted in the right-handed direction, it becomes overwound. Overwinding results in positive supercoiling takes place. If DNA is twisted in the left handd direction, it becomes underwound. Underwinding results in negative supercoiling.
f. One effect negative supercoiling in bacterial chromosomes is to promote separation of the two strands of DNA in the double helix
Answer:
(D). lungs
Explanation:
Cladograms are diagrams that show cladistic relationship between organisms of different species on the basis of their characteristics. The cladograms may include characteristics to make two organisms different from each other.
In given cladogram, characteristic that separates bony fish from amphibians is 'lungs', as lungs are absent in bony fishes, while present in amphibians.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
