A small molecule known as a methyl group can attach to DNA. Which of the following statements about this event is true? Group of

answer choices This is the event that initiates DNA transcription. This event, called linkage, was discovered by Mendel but was not completely understood until decades later. This is the event that stops DNA translation. This event, called methylation, usually stops or represses the expression of a gene.

Answer:

This event, called methylation, usually stops or represses the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

The expression of the gene can be controlled by an event which adds the methyl group to the DNA molecule especially in the histone proteins called Methylation.

The addition of the methyl group to the nitrogenous bases is a common event in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

If methylation takes place in the promoter region of the gene then it represses the transcription of a gene or the gene is suppressed.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

The evolution of eukaryotic cells most likely involved: endosymbiosis of an oxygen-using bacterium in a larger host cell−the end
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Endosymbiosis of an oxygen-using scavenger bacterium in a larger host cell−the endosymbiont evolved into lysosomes.

Explanation:

The evolution of eukaryotic cells in all probability included: endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont developed into mitochondria. development of an endomembrane framework and consequent advancement of mitochondria from a segment of the Golgi. endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing photosynthetic bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont advanced into mitochondria. endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing scrounger bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont developed into lysosomes.

Humans and hogs have differences in only 1 out of the 51 amino acids in their insulin proteins. Hogs and guinea pigs have differ
balu736 [363]

Humans are more closely related to hogs than hogs are to guinea pigs.

Explanation:

The difference in the amino acid sequence of a protein is used to know the  relation between organism i.e. how closely they are related.

It is known that proteins are the result of DNA sequence ie genes of the organism.

The gene or protein is compared between organisms to understand the evolutionary evidence and similarities between them.

The less is the difference the more is the two organisms closely related as in the case of hog and human which have only 1 amino acid difference in their insulin enzyme. While guinea pig is having  a difference of 17 amino acids so it is expected to be distantly related.

These relations helps the scientist to resolve the issues of crisis say insulin. They zero out the possibility of extracting the enzyme genes of possible organism and increase the yield.

What does the surface of a calm lake have in common with a contour line?
zlopas [31]

Answer;

-They are all at the same elevation

Explanation;

-Contour line on a topographical map that detail changes in elevation. This line connects points of equal elevation. Contour lines are used in Topography to show the elevation of the land on a map. When looking at a map the contour lines look very similar to how a calm lake would appear.
