The melanin gene would turned on more in the summer months because of its function, as it protects us from UV light damage caused by the sun. Summer is the most sunny season of the year so the melanin gene need to 'work' more than usually to protect us. When the sun shines on our skin, it destroys the melanin as well but since our skin is alive, it can respond to the sun's damage by making more melanin.So this means that it would be more turned on. Hope this helps

The cell cycle requires energy. Which process supplies this energy so that the cell cycle can take place in all living things
Schach [20]

Answer:

Cellular respiration

Explanation:

All living cells strictly require energy in form of ATP to perform their cellular functions. This energy is obtained when food molecules are broken down on their cells in order to release the stored energy in their bonds. This anabolic process is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

CELL CYCLE is one of the cellular functions performed by a cell, as every cell needs to undergo division. According to this question, the cell cycle requires energy, which is also supplied via the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION.
