Explanation:
Each avocado fruit contains one large seed. Each tangerine fruit contains a dozen seeds or more. Because the tan- gerine tree produces more seeds per fruit, it has a higher biotic potential than the avocado tree.
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:
The given statement is True.
Explanation:
Scala media has endolymph as its constituent and endolymph is rich in Potassium ions (K+)
whereas
Scala tympani and scala vestibuli has in its composition Perilymph and Perilymph has sodium ions as their major constituent ions.
Therefore, scala media is Potassium ion rich while scala tympani and vestibuli are sodium ion rich.
