Chromatin

Explanation:

In eukaryotic transcription initiation of a gene requires change in chromatin structure (chromatin remodeling) because promoter and other regulatory elements of DNA exposed after removal of histone core

Examples of various processes that may or may not cause remodeling of chromatin:

Activates:

Histone acetyltransferase catalyses histone acetylation(addition of acetyl group) which occurs on lysine residue of H3 and H4 which is present in histone tail

Histone acetylation neutralises the positive charge of histone core and facilitate their dissociation, this favors gene expression

Inactivates:

Histone deacetylase catalyses removal of acetyl group from histone tail and favors interaction of histones to DNA and always associated with gene repression

Activates and inactivates:

Histone methylation occurs at different amino acids, for example: when occurs on lysine and arginine residue of H3 histone then it favors gene expression whereas when occurs on lysine residue of H4 histone, it favors gene repression

No effect:

RNA Polymerase II binds to the start site of transcription(core promoter) and transcribes all types of mRNA and most of snRNA and miRNA

Answer from: chloegirl7994

Modifications in chromatin affect transcriptional activity of the gene by changing the accessibility of DNA to the transcription machinery.

Explanation:

1. Activates: Histone acetyltransferases attach acetyl groups to the N-terminus of histones

2. Inactivates: Histone deacetylases remove acetyl groups from the N-terminus end of histones protein.

3. Activates and inactivates: There is Histone methylation occurs at various amino acids of histone.

4. No effect: RNA polymerase II binds to the start site of transcription and causes transcription.

Which of the following best describes the expensive tissue hypothesis? brains require more energy, so the gut had to be reduced, and larger brains and tool use led to higher quality diets. increasing body size means that homo neanderthalensis had to include more fat in its diet. brains require more energy, so the gut had to be reduced as brains got bigger. brains require more fat, so the gastrointestinal viscera (gut) had to expand, and hands were needed to acquire more food.
