Answer:

B. positive

Explanation:

Histones are proteins that bind to the DNA in order to form highly compacted structures named nucleosomes, the basic structural units of DNA packaging in eukaryotic genomes. A nucleosome is a segment of DNA wound around an octamer (8) of histones, i.e., two copies each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. These histones are positively charged in order to interact with the negatively charged DNA molecule. During transcription, reducing histone positive charge decreases the interaction between DNA and histones in the nucleosomes, thereby opening the chromatin to favor the access of the transcriptional complex and thus facilitates gene expression.

icang [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Meissner corpuscles are one of four types of mechanoreceptors which response to mechanical pressure.

The corpuscles are very adaptive and sensitive receptors which convert the stimuli to action potential and send them to the Central nervous system.

The corpuscles are found in the areas which are exposed to touch or are sensitive to touch like in the fingers of the hand and the lips.

Since the deaf and blind lady distinguishes people with a light touch, therefore, these Meissner corpuscles are involved in helping identify the individuals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
