Acertain regulatory gene is involved in controlling the expression of other genes. in studying this regulatory gene, a scientist discovers that it encodes for an enzyme that causes histone deacetylase (the removal of acetyl groups from histone tails). based on this information, how would you predict that this enzyme regulates gene expression? a. it causes tighter packing of the chromatin at the target gene to inhibit translation. b. it causes decompression of the chromatin at the target gene to inhibit translation. c. it activates gene promoters to signal for the biding of rna polymerase. d. it activates rna processing by removing introns and splicing exons together.

1. true.2. true.3. true.4. false.5. true.the concept of darwin's theory of evolution involves the idea that there are limited resources in a given living environment and that the organisms which live within have variations in their genetic make up due to random mating. the ones with beneficial genetic variations can express certain traits which give them an upper hand in surviving and reproducing in the said environment compared to ones who may have a more disadvantageous variation in traits. over time, the organisms with an upper hand will survive and reproduce more frequently and pass on their beneficial genes while the others die. the result is evolution, where we observe (usually, but not always) eventually, phenotypic distinct changes.
