Answer:
The correct answer is A) Histone deacetylation generally decreases gene expression.
Explanation:
Histones are the proteins that are responsible for the condensation of chromatin, which is directly linked to the capacity that a gene has to be expressed. The more condensed a gene is, the less expressible it becomes.
In order to regulate the gene expression, histones can suffer from many modifications that can change their conformation and the expressiveness of specific genes.
<u>Histone acetylation is linked with an increase of gene expression; while deacetylation and methylation decrease gene expression.</u>
Answer: D. All living cells come from other living cells.
Explanation:
A is incorrect because organisms like bacteria and amoebas are unicellular, or have 1 cell.
B is incorrect because cells are specialized: nerve cells and muscle cells do not share the same function.
C is incorrect because inanimate objects are not alive and do not have cells.
D is correct because cells reproduce by mitosis, creating copies of themselves.
Prokaryotes. they are the oldest living organisms
At the place marked with the letter A we have a divergent plate boundary. On this type of boundary, the plates are moving away from one another. As they move away, they leave a gap behind them, and the crust is becoming thinner and thinner with lots of cracks in it. Because of that, the high pressures from the mantle manage to push upwards the magma with ease. The magma reaches the seafloor and it is pushing the crust upwards until it breaks it. As the magma pushes the crust upwards,underwater volcanoes are formed, and when the crust is broken by the magma, the magma flows get on the seafloor, cool of very quickly in the water, and create new crust.
Answer:
Biological magnification refers to a phenomenon where some of the substances like heavy metals or pesticides move up the food chain, make their way into the lakes or rivers, and are eventually consumed by aquatic species like fish. This, in turn, is further consumed by large species like large birds, humans or animals.
This is associated with the health warnings given to pregnant women as too much eating of some kind of fish may influence the immune systems, that is, may affect the health of women who are pregnant.
