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.

Alina [70]

Answer:

D) resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning explains how species that are similar (in this case the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles) use their resources together (coexist). They live in the same community and use the same resources, but they don't push one another to extinction through competition. They use the same limiting resource at different  time and thus, compete less with one another.

Which of the following explains how cells become specialized to develop into parts of organ systems?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

C.Cells develop in particular areas of the body, which gives them the same functions

Explanation:

Cell differentiation is the process of cells becoming specialized as their body develops. ... Through the action of these transcription factors, cells specialize into one of hundreds of different cell types in the human body.Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions
