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.

How are foods that are carbohydrates related to sugar?
BartSMP [9]
Carbohydrates are naturally occurring sugars, starches and fiber in food. All carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules. Sugar molecules linked together form starches and fiber. In the body, starches and sugars are broken down in the digestive system to glucose.

The appearance of a pebbly texture on the surface of a deep wound indicates what process is taking place?
irakobra [83]
In a deep wound, there might be a few layers of tissue that need to be rebuilt because they were lost. In this rebuilding process this pebbly texture can be seen and it indicates that granulation is taking place (that's the process). Granulation is when small blood vessels and capillaries start to develop vertically to the outside part of the wound, being supported by connective tissue, and surrounded by cells of many other types for different purposes, such as immunitary functions or specialised tissue functions. This tissue growing is characteristic of healing and it presents this granulated/pebbly texture to it.

What purpose would the sand serve?
mihalych1998 [28]

Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rockand mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.[1]

The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastalsettings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.

Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.

For Dalmatian dogs the spotted condition (D) is dominant to the non-spotted condition (d). What are the results of a cross betwe
Svetradugi [14.3K]

If two heterozygous individuals are crossed, the results of the cross are as follows:

  • SS - spotted condition
  • 2 Ss - Spotted condition
  • ss - non-spotted condition

<h3>What is an Heterozygous Cross:</h3>

According to this question, the gene coding for spotted condition. The allele for spotted condition (S) is dominant over the non-spotted condition (s).

If two heterozygous Dalmatian dogs are crossed i.e. Ss × Ss, the allele combination for each gamete is as follows:

  • Ss - S and s
  • Ss - S and s

The following offsprings will be produced:

  • SS - spotted condition
  • 2 Ss - Spotted condition
  • ss - non-spotted condition
