A researcher is studying gene expression in different types of cells. For a gene of interest, he notes its expression no longer

appears to be regulated _________. it occurs in all cells, rather than in just a few cell types. The gene’s corresponding transcript and protein, however, appear normal. This may be the result of a mutation in which of the following regions associated with the gene?a) Exonb) Intronc) Promoterd) Silencer

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) "Silencer".

Explanation:

Gene silencing is the regulation of a gene expression that results in avoiding the expression of a gene during a certain period of time. A silencer is a DNA sequence that produces gene silencing. In this example the researcher founds that a gene is not longer regulated in all cells and the gene is still transcribed and translated into protein. The mutation responsible of this it is likely to be occurring in a silencer, avoiding gene silencing of the studied gene in all cells.

Tanya [424]
False the process is reversed. Photosystem ll happens before photosystem l. I know that's weird but it's true. In photosystem ll which happens first it makes the energy carriers for ATP Synthase to happen in Photosystem l which is the next phase. Hope this helped!

What is enters the light cycle ? Where do they come from ? How are they used / changed ?
zubka84 [21]

In the start of the light cycle, light-dependent reactions harness energy from the sun in order to create chemical bonds. These bonds are known as ATP and NADPH. These are the molecules that carry energy which are made in the stroma. The stroma is where the Calvin cycle takes place.

What kind of biomolecule are enzymes typically composed of? What effect do enzymes have on their substrates and the overall reac
ivann1987 [24]

Enzymes are typically composed of amino acids.

Enzymes specifically binds to their substrate, and accelerate the biological or in-vitro reactions.

Four real-life examples of enzymes are: Lipase, Maltase, DNA ploymerase and Alcohol dehydrogenase.

Explanation:

All enzymes are proteins. They are composed of amino acids as monomer units linked by polypeptide bonds.

The substrate is a molecule which has specific enzyme binding sites for the highly specific enzyme called as active sites. With this binding, the  enzyme-substrate complex is formed, undergoes the chemical reaction and new product is formed. Enzymes accelerate the biological reactions by lowering the reaction's activation energy.

Four-real life examples of enzymes are:

Lipase enzyme: catalyses the hydrolysis of fats and triglycerides in the small intestine. Lipase enzyme is secreted by pancreas.

Maltase enzyme: catalyses the breakdown of maltose sugar. It is secreted by salivary glands and our mouths.

DNA Polymerase Enzyme: It catalyses the DNA replication in the cells. It is secreted by the nucleus

Alcohol dehydrogenase: It catalyses many reactions in the body as the reduction of NAD to NADH. It is secreted by the liver.
