Answer:
1. d. changes in the methylation patterns of <em>loci</em> involved in growth and metabolic disease
2. b. differences in the expression of metabolic genes
d. changes in histone acetylation patterns
Explanation:
Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression which are not dependent on DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms involve DNA methylation, histone modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc) and regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) pathways. These epigenetic mechanisms work together and mutually reinforce each other in order to modulate gene expression (either by activating or suppressing gene expression). In consequence, transcriptome data (e.g., genes differentially expressed in particular tissues/cells or stages of development) is an important piece of evidence indicating the existence of epigenetic modulation.
Answer:
I believe it is A, but I could be wrong.
Explanation:
I think this, because when it says, "Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution", I think it referencing to the fact that all animals and etc, are made up of common codes, and how over time, through evolution, certain codes were eliminated, because creatures were evolving.
We are given with the data that at 10 am, the temp is 40oF. We are asked for the time when the body's temperature is equal to 80oF. In this casem we use Newtons law of cooling: T (t) = Ta + (To - Ta) e -kt. Substituing, 98.6 = 40 + (80-40) e -0.1947t. t is equal to . Hence the approximate time of death is -1.96 hrs ago or approx two hours ago. The answer is 8 am.
