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.

The difference between the two students that we know of is that they used a different meter stick. So the difference would be best attributed to  the different tools they used.

Note, this is quite a huge difference. It's likely that one of the sticks, or both, are quite defect.

slavikrds [6]

The hindbrain consists of the medulla, the pons, and the cerebellum.

<h3>The hindbrain</h3>

The hindbrain is the portion of the brain that is otherwise known as the rhombencephalon. It is the part of the brain that is located towards the lower back.

The hindbrain consists of 3 main parts:

  1. The medulla oblongata
  2. The pons
  3. The cerebellum

Each component has specific functions they perform. The medulla oblongata is located at the extreme end where the brain connects with the spinal cord. It controls activities such as heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration.

The pons of the hindbrain work hand in hand with the medullar oblongata for effective breathing. In addition, it is the part of the brain that controls the circadian rhythm of the body.

The cerebellum helps the body to maintain postural balance and adjustments when necessary.
