The basic difference between active genes and inactive genes is that active genes are expressed whereas inactive genes are not expressed. This is due to the DNA methylation of the sequences. For DNA replication or copying it must be accessible to the enzymes and the enzymes can access euchromatin and cannot access heterochromatin. The euchromatin is loosely packed form of DNA while heterochromatin is tightly packed form of the DNA. Therefore, the heterochromatin contains the active form of inactive form of genes or the genes are said to be silenced. The DNA bound around the histone proteins are heterochromatins are inaccessible to the enzymes as the histone proteins are in methylated form. The methylation of the histone proteins keeps the genes inactive.

Help!!!! Can anyone answer this lab questions below about mitosis!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Mitosis is a division of a eukaryotic cell in which the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells.  

In multicellular organisms, both sexual and asexual reproduction is followed by cell division, which ensures the growth and development of the organism. In addition, cell division is necessary to replace dead cells and repair injuries. New cells are constantly being added and old ones are being destroyed. About a hundred thousand more cells are created every second, and of course the same number dies. The new cells start with the division of the source cell. The cells formed in this way are called daughter cells. Stem cells can gradually divide into all the different cells in the body through mitosis.

Most of the body's cells are constantly renewed by mitosis, but there are also so-called irreplaceable cells that are formed only once in a lifetime for the life of the organism and do not regenerate by mitosis.

What is the environmental pressure of a giraffe
Yuri [45]
The answer to this question would be: increased food height

Giraffe becomes tall because its food height is increased. In this case, the environmental pressure on Giraffe would be the increased height of the food.
The taller giraffe has access to higher food. Then, the giraffe with the higher chance of survival in this scenario would be the giraffe with a taller height.

Robert, an aspiring scientist in a biology class, wanted to conduct a study on the effects of cigarette smoke on the web-buildin
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<em>The statement that is incorrect is :</em>

<em>Robert wanted to see if his theory was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders.</em>

Explanation:

A theory can be described as a descriptive explanation of a phenomenon which is supported by valid experiments and careful examination of facts. As Robert, has not conducted any experiments nor has proved his study with reference to facts, hence it cannot be considered as a theory.

Robert wanted to see if his observation was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders will be the correct statement that could be used.
