Answer:

Biodiversity

Explanation:

"Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. "

yKpoI14uk [10]
The appropriate response is the second one. Parallel fibers emerge from granule cells in the cerebellar cortex. Granule cells are little and exceptionally various. They are thought to make up the same number of as half of the neurons in the cerebrum. Granule cells have axons which ascend and afterward fan out into parallel filaments. These filaments meet the Purkinje cell dendrites.

A gene is involved in promoting limb development in humans. The gene is initially weakly activated during the limb induction pha
Anna [14]

Answer:

1. If the gene is weakly activated, it likely lacks repressive histone modifications, but may also lack the presence of histone marks associated with strong transcriptional activation such as acetylation.

When the gene is strongly activated, it likely lacks repressive marks (such as H3K9me2/3 and H3K27me3 - both examples of repressive histone methylation) and might possess some activating histone acetylation marks, such as H3K4ac, and active histone methylation such as H3K4me3

<em>An aside: The pattern and presence of different histone modifications would depend on the gene, but based on the fact that it is a developmental gene, I would assume that H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 are at play (these are part of the Polycomb/Trithorax system)</em>

<em />

After limb growth is complete, the gene is turned off. Repressive histone methylation marks would be associated with this state, such as the aforementioned H3K9me2/3 or H3K27me3.

2. Histone modifications are tightly linked to genome organisation. Histone methylation marks associated with repression such as H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 are associated with compact chromatin structures, which restrict the access of transcriptional machinery and other positive regulators. Conversely, histone marks associated with gene activation are associated with a more permissive chromatin environment that facilitates the binding of factors associated with gene expression. In the case of histone acetylation, the acetyl mark directly removes the positive charge of chromatin, relaxing its interaction with negatively charged DNA.

3. If the inappropriate activation of this gene caused a cancerous tumor, this gene would be referred to as an oncogene (or a proto-oncogene for the term before it is inappropriately activated).

Typically, there are two classes of genes that lead to cancer: tumor-suppressor genes and oncogenes. Tumor suppressor genes lead to cancer when their protective activity is reduced or demolished, leading to the production of cancer cells. Oncogenes lead to cancer when they become over active. Oncogenes are often genes associated positively with growth and proliferation, consistent with the gene in this example.

Which statement is one component of the cell theory?
Wittaler [7]

The options attached to the question above are given below:

A. All living and nonliving things consist of one or more cells.

B. Cells and living organisms are spontaneously created.

C. Cells are the most complex unit of structure and function in living things.

D. A cell is the basic unit of structure and function of all organisms

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

The cell theory is one of the major theories in biology and it states the facts about living cells. The theory states that, the cell is the most basic unit of all organisms and all living organisms are made up of one or more cells. The organisms that are made up of only one cell are described as unicellular while those that possess many cells are described as multi cellular. The theory also states that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

4.If the cell cycle takes 24 hours in a particular cell, how long will it be in interphase? Prophase?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Usually, cells will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete S phase. G2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells. In sum, then, interphase generally takes between 18 and 20 hours.
