Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question together using the histone code, what does H. Five L. 19 P. To represent? Well let's break down this code into this H. Five, meaning we have his stone five L. 19 means we have either a loose scene or a lysine at position 19. And then this p. two means that we have a di phosphor relation. Since we have P. Two. And the two is di p represents that phosphor relation. So we're looking for an answer choice that represents histone five with a losing or lysine at position 19. And that die phosphor relation, which means that answer choice C. Is the correct answer because it is the only one here that describes this H. Five L. 19, P. Two. And the others are H. Five L. 19. M. E. Three. Because we have this tri methylated lysine here we have H. Five L. 19. We have a C. Two because of this diet assimilation of that loose scene. And then lastly we have H. 19 V. Five M. E. Two. Because the histone is histone 19. And we have that di methylated veiling at position five. So the only one here that represents H. Five L. 19, P. Two is answer choice C. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
