A mutation can either be passed down as a hereditary trait, but most mutations of the gene can be triggered by something such as radiation from the sun, or if an error is made in cell division as DNA copies itself

omeli [17]

Explanation:

Differentiation

Embryonic stem cells contain sets of genes; these are expressed to determine their cell type. This differentiation process is regulated via cellular signalling to switch genes on or off.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.

Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

Answer: Students may mention many things, but especially the changing economy. The downturn in the economy makes consumers more price conscious thereby putting Sears at a price disadvantage. Students may also mention changing demographics. Today’s families are increasingly dual income earners making them more time starved and more apt to appreciate the convenience offered by big box discounters. Also, Sears has been unable to connect with younger consumers who prefer different types of communication (i.e., Facebook and Twitter) than their parents or grandparents did. Finally, the growing popularity of online shopping represents significant technological change.
