First‚ the article states that researchers give an insight explanation of how the protein epigenetic activators‚ known as Ash1‚ which is extracted from the fruit fly Drosophila‚ attaches to their target DNA and trigger genes that control what function a cell will have inside the subject’s body. More specifically‚ after reviewing the article‚ the in-depth examination of how these proteins bind to target DNA elements‚ such

Moral; of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior. Often people attempt to press their morals onto others in the belief that their morals are superior or use their morals to justify their wrongdoing.

Y (or lack of it) determine the individual’s sex. But did these chromosomes have other functions as well? The answer came from the first giant of 20th-century genetics‚ the American Thomas Hunt Morgan. In decades of research with the simple fly Drosophila melanogaster‚ Morgan and his colleagues and students discovered what the X and Y chromosomes do and Morgan developed the theory of the gene. Building on Mendel’s work‚ Morgan found that the fly’s eye color is transmitted on the X chromosome
