Answer:
Epigenetic phenomena
Explanation:
Epigenetics involves the changes in gene expression which is not as a result of changes in an individual's DNA sequence. In other words, it is a change in an individual's phenotype, without an alteration in the genotype.
It is involved in the normal functioning of cellular processes.
Examples of epigenetics is DNA methylation ( adding of a methyl group to a section of the DNA molecule) and histone modification such as histone acetylation (adding an acetyl group to the histone).
Epigenetic changes can switch off genes, hence, prevent the expression of those genes; it can also turn on genes, hence increase the expression of those genes.
Epigenetic changes can also results to diseases such as cancer.
Primary succession: <u>is a process by which a community arises in a virtually lifeless area with no soil. </u>
Secondary succession:<u> follows a disturbance that destroys a community without destroying the soil.</u>
Answer:
here
Explanation:
In a negative feedback loop, an increase in a factor will result in a change in the body that'll reduce the value of this factor to the set point.
For example, an increase in the blood glucose levels after a meal will cause an increase in the levels of insulin in the blood which will lower the glucose levels.
However, in this example, an increase in the pressure generated by the fetus also increases the frequency of uterus contractions. So the more the pressure, the more the contractions.
Alternative RNA splicing determines which proteins are produced from each gene.
