Answer:

DNA can make loops

Explanation:

Transcriptional factors (such as activators or repressors) are proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA sequence (such as enhancers and silencers). Consequently, gene transcription might be turned on or off. Usually binding sites for transcriptional factors are located near the promoter (initiation of transcription). But when they are located far from the gene they regulate DNA, flexibility plays a role. DNA can form loops which bring together binding sites and transcription factors.

A. Most plants in the ditch will be plants with long roots.

Answer:

A. Most plats in the ditch will be plants with long roots.

Explanation:

Because the plants with shallower roots systems are easily uprooted by the rain, and there is lots of rain that year, natural selection will choose the long rooted plats. They are the "strongest" in evolution's eyes because they are less likely to die by being uprooted.

What if all the blood vessels were of the same size? pls tell fast will mark brainliest

Goshia [24]

Answer:

That depends how big they are.

Explanation:

If they were all the same as vessels in the legs, blood pressure wouldn't be high enough for vital organs.

If they were all the same of vessels in the heart, it'd be very easy to lose extreme amounts of blood upon being cut.

There are probably more complications that I haven't considered.
