Histone modification: is fixed; once a histone is modified, it stays that way and the genes with which it is associated are turn

ed on or off permanently. is random and independent of the environment or cell type. is fixed, but this has no effect on whether genes are expressed. can change over time in response to environmental cues, allowing genes to be turned on or off as needed. can change over time in response to environmental cues, but this has no effect on gene expression.

Answer:

The correct answer is ''can change over time in response to environmental cues, allowing genes to be turned on or off as needed.''

Explanation:

Histones are a family of proteins involved in compacting DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. Histone modifications occur in response to environmental conditions, and modulate the structure of chromatin, that is, they alter the structure of nucleosomes and therefore chromatin, and thus activate the transcription process, in which the chromatin is in the euchromatin state (loose conformation, in which the DNA information can be read), or "off" state, in which the chromatin adopts the heterochromatin conformation (compact conformation, which prevents reading), respectively. These post-translational modifications are mainly acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, although there are many others. These make up the “histone code” that can change the expression pattern of some genes by modifying the chromatin structure, activating or silencing these genes.

What do anaerobic organisms have in common with photosynthetic organisms?
Dvinal [7]

Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.

Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic.  Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.

Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.

Which of the following cell organelles are directly responsible for making and packaging proteins A) Mitochondria, Golgi complex
viktelen [127]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct sequence of organelles involved in making and packaging of proteins is option C: ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi complex.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  1. The protein synthesis which is the translation of mRNA is done on <u>ribosomes.</u>
  2. As the protein is produced then it goes for modification in the <u>endoplasmic reticulum.</u>
  3. After some modifications proteins are packed into vesicles for the intercellular and intracellular transport.
  4. This packing is done in <u>Golgi apparatus.</u>
