Histone proteins are among the most highly conserved protein in eukaryotes. Histone H4 proteins from a pea and a cow, for example, differ in only 2 of 102 amino acids. However, comparison of the two gene (nucleotide) sequences shows many more differences. These observations indicate that mutations that change amino acids must be selected against.

Required:
Why do you suppose that amino acid-altering mutations in histone genes are deleterious?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

nucleosomal histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) strongly interact among them and with DNA in order to form nucleosomes. In consequence, it is expected that mutations in histone genes have deleterious effects on the organization of the chromatin

Explanation:

Nucleosomes are well known to be the basic structural units of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. Each nucleosome consists of an octamer of histone proteins, i.e., two copies each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, and one segment of DNA wrapped around this octamer of histones. Chromatin organization is fundamental o regulate key cellular processes, including gene expression and genome maintenance. In consequence, it is expected that histone proteins are evolutionary well conserved across the eukaryotic kingdom.

3. In tropical regions,
a, a permanent thermocline traps nutrients in the deep water
b. primary productivity is high all year round, because there is a constant supply of solar energy for
photosynthesis
c, the thermocline disappears in the winter
d. the upper and lower layers of water mix all year round

Answers

Answer:

a, a permanent thermocline traps nutrients in the deep water

b. primary productivity is high all year round, because there is a constant supply of solar energy for  photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Thermocline occurs in the tropical regions because the temperature is very high which warms the upper layer of water bodies whereas the lower layer of water has low temperature due to no sunlight. The primary productivity is high all year in the tropical regions, because there is a constant supply of sunlight that is needed by the plants for  preparing their own food.

a. Determine the allele frequencies of: T = ____________ t = ____________

b. Determine the genotype frequencies of TT = ___________ tt = ____________​

Answers

Answer:

a. Determine the allele frequencies of:

f(T) = 0.485 ≅ 0.48

f(t) = 0.515 ≅ 0.52

b. Determine the genotype frequencies of the exposed generation

F (TT) = 0.21F (Tt) = 0.55F (tt) = 0.24

Plants, like all organisms, adapt to the conditions of their environment. Some special challenges a plant may face are drought, flooding, and a salty environment. Your task is to identify and describe ways that plants adapt to these challenging conditions in their environment. Select one plant adaptation to drought, one adaptation to flooding, and one for salt tolerance. Explain how each adaptation enhances plant survival. Identify a scholarly source of information for each. Use quotes appropriately; be sure your responses are written in your own words

Answers

Answer:

Hydrophytes is flood tolerant plants, barley is salt tolerant crop and sorghum is a drought tolerant crop.

Explanation:

Hydrophytes also known as flood tolerant plants that have adaptations to survive flood problems. The plant has the development of air spaces in the roots and stems which allow diffusion of oxygen from the aerial portions of the plant into the roots. Barley shows a greater degree of salt tolerance by applying method of osmoregulation which helps the plant to tolerate salt stress. Sorghum is a plant that is adapted to drought condition. These plants have less number of stomata and waxy layers on the leaves which lowers the rate of evaporation or transpiration.

.Explicati de ce algele pluricelulare au culoarea rosie,verde respectiv bruna ?

Answers

Answer:

Due to different pigments.

Explanation:

The multicellular algae are red, green and brown because of the presence of pigments. The red algae are red in colour because of the presence of the phycoerythrin which is a type of pigment. This pigment reflects red light due to already presence in its body and absorbs blue light that is necessary for photosynthesis process. The brown algae contain fucoxanthin pigment and green algae contain xanthophylls pigments that are responsible for its colour so we can conclude that these different types of pigments are responsible for the different colour of algae.

Is it XXX that all males want?

Explanation:

Just joking! I still think it is XXY

The genotype that represents males is XY of 50 % of both  X and Y chromosomes where a slight change in the alignment might cause to chromosomal disorders .

XXY , XYY ,  XY represents males genotypes.

What are chromosomal disorders ?

These are the disorders which are associated with the change in the normal XY sequence of males. Various disorders and syndromes are associated with the mutation and the responsible factor can be trisomy like.

XXY  is  a chromosomal mutation found in the males only called as Jacob syndrome, XYY is a chromosomal disorder called as klinefelter syndrome  found in males only.

XX is the genotype of a female, XXX is a condition that affects 1 in every 1000  females.

Thus, except XX and XXX is the exception as both of these represent females.

What is an example of weathering, erosion, and deposition in Texas? (A)Gradual change to Guadalupe Peak (B)All of the above (C)The changing coastline of Texas (D)The creation of Palo Duro Canyon

Answers

Answer: Weathering, erosion, and deposition from the terrestrial surface topography and soil characteristics. These processes, for example, have formed a variety of landforms in Texas like beaches, plateaus, mountains, and canyons as well as soil types like fertile soil, clay-rich soil, and sandy soil. The combination of topography, soil, and climatic conditions in an area defines the types of habitats that the area can support this is crucial to ecoregion classification. Ten separate ecoregions occur in Texas including 1) East Texas Pineywoods, 2) Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, 3) Oak Woods and Prairies, 4) Blackland Prairie, 5) cross timbers and prairies (6) Rolling Plains, (7) High Plains, (8) TransPecos, (9) South Texas Plains, (Brush Country), and (10) Edwards Plateau. Such ecoregions are named for the major types of habitats topographical features (e.g. Edwards Plateau) present in their areas. The weathering, erosion, and deposition of each of these ecoregions have an important influence. Hope This Helps :)
