The scientists modified the genes that were turned on/off (expressed) in mice. What happened to the offspring of these mice?

The resulting mice will be induced with the changed gene either on or off. The offspring will have altered genes if both the alleles have the trait. This is a heritable change.

Explanation:

Making gene on or off is a process of gene regulation when one of the gene is methylated or histone modification to prevent access to transcription factors hence no expression of the protein. This process is called epigenetics.

The resulting progeny in mice will receive the allele of on or off the gene. Such genes with altered allele are also called as

The altered genes will be expressed in the resulting progeny of mice.

The epigenetic genes can be reverted with environmental effects in the offspring paramutable alleles. They are heritable.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - locomotion has provided various advantages to many organism.

Explanation:

Locomotion is the various movement of an organism to perform several functions that are necessary for any organism. The functions that are included in locomotion are walking, running climbing, galloping, slithering and many more.

These actions help in obtaining food, escape from predators and avoid polluted environments and many more survival functions.

Thus, the correct answer is - locomotion has provided various advantages to many organisms.

Answer: Many of the bacteria in the body play an important role in human survival. Bacteria in the digestive system break down nutrients, such as complex sugars, into forms the body can use. Bacteria in the digestive system break down nutrients, such as complex sugars, into forms the body can use. Non-hazardous bacteria also help prevent diseases by occupying places that the pathogenic, or disease-causing, bacteria want to attach to. Some bacteria protect us from disease by attacking the pathogens.
