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.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a form of facilitated transport of molecules such as amino acid, glucose, and others through the plasma membrane involving the passive or indirect movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, which is led by the presence of another molecule normally a pore or channel made up of integral protein.

Facilitated diffusion depends on several factors such as the size of molecules, type of molecules, similarity of molecules to extracellular matrix or fluid that slow or fast the diffusion process.

Thus, the correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.

DNA will condense into
aniked [119]

Answer: DNA condenses into chromosomes.

Explanation: Chromatin carefully packs these DNA molecules into stringy-looking structures called chromosomes. If the DNA molecules in cells were not snaked around histones, the molecules would be 6 feet long when placed end-to-end, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Gnesinka [82]
The answer would be C. Energy is used through the food chain so energy always decreases. Population size would commonly decrease according to the  pyramid of food chain but since there's no answer for that, C would be the most suitable
