Flowering Locus C (FLC) is a gene that is responsible for flowering in certain plants. FLC is expressed in new seedlings, which

prevents flowering. Upon exposure to cold temperatures, FLC expression decreases and the plant flowers. FLC is regulated through epigenetic modifications. What type of epigenetic modifications are present in new seedlings and after cold exposure

Answer:

- New seedlings: histone acetylation

- After cold exposure: histone methylation

Explanation:

Vernalization is an adaptive mechanism whose objective is to ensure that flowering occurs only after winter (i.e., after cold conditions). In certain plants, this process (vernalization) suppresses the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In <em>Arabidopsis</em>, vernalization is associated with histone modifications at <em>FLC</em> chromatin. The <em>FLOWERING LOCUS C </em>(<em>FLC</em>) is a MADS-box gene that acts as a repressor of flowering in <em>Arabidopsis</em>. Epigenetic modifications control the expression of the <em>FLC</em> gene. The <em>FLC</em> gene is expressed at low temperatures due to histone acetylation at <em>FLC</em> chromatin, and thereby the expression of <em>FLC</em> mRNA transcripts ensures that the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant cannot flower. Subsequently, as the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant is exposed to cold, <em>FLC</em> is repressed by the accumulation of trimethylation on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), thereby allowing it to flower when temperatures become warmer.

When would a testcross be done?
vova2212 [387]
<span>Additional facts:
A test cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring.
Answer:
You'd use it when you wish to see if the one that you think is a homozygous dominant is a purebred, because if you did get a recessive offspring then it proves that the animal is a heterozygous and not a purebred.</span>

Two ways in xylem is modified to carry out its function
Bess [88]
1. The cell wall has lignin (hard substance): to prevent the xylem vessel from collapsing and withstand high pressure.
2. The absence of protoplasm (nucleus + cytoplasm) and cross wall: to allow water to move through the lumen easily.
