Summary Introduction

To explain: The purpose of the cells with the gene for green fluorescent protein that serves in the Neanderthal hair color experiment.

Concept introduction: Neanderthals are extinct hominins that are closest relatives of Homo sapiens and habituated to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The pigmentation in humans is regulated by the MC1R. The loss of function mutation in the MC1R gene in turn affects the skin and hair color. Homozygous mutation of the gene results in red hair and pale skin phenotype.

concept defines a species as a group of organisms that are capable of exchanging Mayr's genes. O biological species. O cladogenic species O phylogenetic species O evolutionary species O morphospecies Which of the following statements is FALSE? Histone acetylation leads to decreased gene expression. O DNA methylation is associated with epigenetic gene repression. Actually, these are all true statements. O DNA methylation is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases. Histones can be methylated at lysine residues.
Yes or no?   DAPI just stains dna in testes and sperm of planarian. A of riboprobe duryin situ hybridization pair with T's in mrna . T with A, cwith G and G with C.   in forward genetics phenotype is known before the gene mutation and in reverse genetics the altered gene is known before phenotype
