Answer:
False
Explanation:
The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.
Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases). This is the way of gene expression regulation.
The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).
Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.
The reason for the change in the hands of the chimpanzee include:
- Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees( Represents a reason for the change)
- Mutations in chimpanzee DNA ( Represents a reason for the change)
- Differences in the ways chimpanzees use their hands ( Doesn't represents a reason for the change)
- Sexual reproduction ( Doesn't represents a reason for the change)
- Differences in enhancer sequences( Represents a reason for the change).
<h3>What is mutation?</h3>
Mutation is defined as the alteration in the genetic makeup of a living organism which may occur due to the following:
- When there is spontaneous break down of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
- Change in a single nucleotide of the DNA.
- when there is additions or deletions of nucleotide in a DNA strand.
A change can be noticed in an animal such as Chimpanzee when the following occurs:
Mutations in chimpanzee DNA: This can alter both that anatomy and the physiological features of the organism involved.
Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees: When there is cross breeding between a chimpanzee and a gorilla, it will lead to a genetic diversity which can be observed as a change in the hands of the chimpanzee.
