In these imprinted cells, the SNRPN transcript overlaps with another gene, called UBE3A, which is transcribed in the opposite di
rection. This means that the region that the RNA polymerase transcribes in these two genes actually overlaps; in some cases, overlapping transcription in opposite directions leads to transcriptional interference, meaning that collisions between the polymerases traveling in opposite directions can interfere with transcription. It is believed that this takes place in this case, meaning that the more SNRPN transcription occurs, the more this disrupts transcription of UBE3A. Based on this information as well as information about the effects of imprinting on SNRPN transcription, which of the following statements about UBE3A transcription would be true? a. The maternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the paternal copy is silenced.
b. The paternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the maternal copy is silenced.
c. Both copies of UBE3A are highly expressed.
d. Both copies of UBE3A are silenced.
a. The maternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the paternal copy is silenced.
Explanation:
When UBE3A chromosome is in neurons, paternal allele is silent and maternal allele is expressed in process of genomic imprinting. In some cases UBE3A is expressed from both paternal and maternal chromosomes. The paternal chromosome is blue whereas maternal chromosome is magenta.
The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a given amount of volume. When the temperature of a system goes up, the pressure also goes up, and vice versa.
Explanation:
This occurs because of the pressure temperature law. (or also known as the Gay-Lussac's law)
Peristalsis is simply a series of muscle contractions, these contractions occur in the digestive tract
Peristalsis is also observed in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder
Peristalsis is an automatic and important process which moves: food through the digestive system, urine from the kidneys into the bladder and bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum
Peristalsis is a normal function of the body and can sometimes be felt in the belly (abdomen) as gas moves along
The Ring of Fire contains approximately 850–1,000 volcanoes that have been active during the last 11,700 years (about two-thirds of the world's total). The four largest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the last 11,700 years occurred at volcanoes in the Ring of Fire.
