The different types of cells in a body contain identical sets of DNA molecules. However, the structures and functions of the cel

l types vary widely. Gene expression describes the way in which genetic information is put into action in undifferentiated stem cells, making some cells, skin cells and others, muscle fibers. DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The codons on the mRNA specify the order in which amino acids are placed to form a protein. Proteins, then play an important role in expressing an organism's physical traits.
Which of these factors does NOT play a significant role in cell differentiation?

A)
Transcription factors bind to regulatory regions of a gene and affect their expression by turning genes off or on.


B)
Certain segments of DNA will be lost in the translation process, rendering certain genes obsolete in particular cells.


C)
Certain genes can be turned on or off by the presence of concentration of transcription factors in the cytoplasm of the cell.


D)
The type and amount of RNA may help determine how a cell differentiates. The process of RNA Interference can even shut down targeted genes, affecting cell differentiation.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In cell differentiation, the objective is to differentiate cell on the basis of their functions and organs they are going to form. In this exercise, the cells need to get on an off to define the type of the cell and their function. Hence option A, C is important for cell differentiation. Information from DNA is transferred to mRNA for cell differentiation; hence option D is also correct. While option B has no role in cell differentiation, in fact loss of DNA segment could cause mutation i.e deletion.

Hence, option B is the correct answer

Explain the cause-effect relationship between environmental changes and the extinction of species.
Contact [7]

Answer: Anything living needs to have certain conditions, if for example a group of flightless birds who are adapted for warm weather had their environment get colder each year and more extreme the surrounding plants and other animals may have a difficult time surviving and this will cause the birds to have less food. The birds also will not be accustomed to these changes and will not be able to adapt their bodies fast enough. This also makes reproduction difficult and in turn further dwindles the population.

Hope this helps!
