Answer:
True
Explanation:
Development, together with globalization, drove severe changes at a global level. The natural and original environments suffered from these effects and still are.
Human beings have constantly been altering the natural ecosystems and causing irreparable damages to nature. For many decades, development involved society and technology advance over new areas unpopulated by humans.
<u>Some</u> of the principal human activities responsible for biodiversity loss are
- the uncontrolled use of unrenewable resources,
- overexploitation of renewable resources;
- land destruction for the mining industry, farming and cattle industry, buildings, and other infrastructures;
- the unplanned advance of cities, and opening of new roads to connect those cities.
All of them involving
- deforestation and fragmentation of natural landscapes;
- water, air, and soil pollution,
- species loss, and reduction of biodiversity.
With globalization, transport around the world became normal. And when traveling around the world, new species are intentionally or unintentionally transported too. When these species, of animal or vegetable origin, get established in a new area, they overgrow to the point of turning invasive.
Invasive species are uncontrollable and cause severe damage in native endemic species by competing for resources. The whole ecosystem structure changes.
But there are some background glitches in the system that are the principal responsible for all the mentioned activities. Some important aspects are lacking
- The respect for nature,
- People´s education at different levels to care and protect wildlife,
- Interest in keeping ancestral knowledge,
- Planning and previous environmental impact studies,
- Policies to control human activities,
- Caring involved government.
If, as a society, we lack these aspects, the possibilities of changing our impact on nature are far away.
Answer: A gene that exhibits multiple phenotypic expression.
Answer:
Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generation of cells
Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription
DNA is not transcribed when packaged tightly in a condensed form
methylation of histone tails can promote condensation of the chromatin
Explanation:
chromatin modifications that can be passed on includes epigenetic modifications that are heritable changes made to the chromatin structure that does not involve the DNA sequences. Some epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation and Histone modifications. examples of histone modification include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquintylation etc. All these function either in allowing the DNA become more accessible to transcritional factors or vice versa. for exmple, histone tail acetylation encourages unwounding of nucleosomes allowing transcriptional factors to have access to the DNa while histone tails methylation further tightens the nucleosomes promoting condensation of the chromatin.
Cells divide for many reasons. For example, when you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. ... When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.
