Answer:
Sex cells are the only cells that undergo meiosis.
Explanation:
Sperm cells in male and egg cells in female are the sex cells because these cells are responsible for the formation of new organism. When the sperm sex cell fuse with egg sex cell forming zygote which turns into a new organism. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells while meiosis occurs only in sex cells.
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.

Answer:
Biotechnology.
Explanation:
Biotechnology may be defined as the field of biology that uses the living organisms to make product by using molecular techniques. Biotechnology involves the different field like biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing and bioengineering.
The genetic system of the living organism can be modified to obtain the desired products. Artificial insulin is prepared by the application of biotechnology. The new drugs in the market and desired trait in the living organism can be prepared by the biotechnology field.
Thus, the correct answer is biotechnology.
