What is histone modification? Addition of acetyl groups to histones done to facilitate transcription of a gene (acetylation)
What is DNA methylation? Addition of methyl groups to nucleotides of DNA in promoter region done to reduce transcription of the gene (methylation)

What is the function of the cell membrane? Holding the parts of the cell inside Maintaining an environment inside that is different from the outside of the cell
What is cytoplasm? Intracellular fluid
What is the function of rough endoplasmic reticulum? What makes it "rough"? Synthesizing and packaging proteins "Rough" due to ribosomes

What was Rosenzweig's finding in his experiment using rats? Brain development is affected by experiences Rats who developed in an enriched environment developed thicker cortices than those who developed in an impoverished environment
What happened to the pepper moths? How does this reflect natural selection? White majority because they blended with the trees better. After IR, dark thrived better because of ash and soot on trees.
