Answer:
B: These organisms developed similar traits because their environments were at one time similar.
Explanation:
As per the given data the answer is correct.
You are not posting the statement of the question but, If you are asking about the properties shared by RNA polymerase and the DNA polymerase, the correct ones are:
They both depend on a DNA sequence template.
Catalyzes phosphodiester bond formation.
Polymerizes nucleotides in a 5'-to-3' direction.
Explanation:
Mimicry: When a weaker animal copies stronger animals' characteristics to warn off predators.
Answer:
a network of proteins that holds homologues together.
Explanation:
Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.
The synaptonemal complex is a network of proteins that holds homologues (homologous chromosomes) together.
Generally, a synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) is formed between homologous chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Also, synaptonemal complex is important for the formation of the four sister chromatids referred to as tetrads.
Furthermore, the synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) has a tripartite structure which comprises of the following components;
I. SC protein-1 (SYCP1).
II. SC protein-2 (SYCP2).
III. SC protein-3 (SYCP3).
In conclusion, the synaptonemal complex plays a significant role in synapsis, recombination and chromosome pairing.
The correct answers are:
- Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.
- DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.
- Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.
- Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells.
- Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.
Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of histone protein that can affect gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers.The most common modifications are methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation. All of them affect the binding affinity between histones and DNA and thus loosening (gene activation) or tightening (gene repression) the condensed DNA.
Histone methylation is a transfer of methyl group by histone methyltransferases to lysine or arginine amino acid of protein. Effect of methylation depends on the type of protein that is modified. Demethylation is the reverse process.
Histone acetylation is the process of adding of an acetyl group(by histone acetyltransferases) to histone proteins and it can also activate or inhibit the gene expression. Deacetilation is reverse process.
