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.

The cell wall is a dense layer that covers the cell and provides structural support and protection. It is located outside the cell membrane. The turgor pressure against the cell wall is maintained by the central vacuole.

What determines which stage occurs after a supernova?
ch4aika [34]
The mass of the star actually determines the stage of the star after supernova. If the mass of the star is small, then it would become a very small and dwarf, cold and dead body in space. The mass of the star has to be less than that of the sun. If the mass of the star is greater than sun, then it would become a black hole. The mass of the star has to be more than 1.4 times the mass of the sun to become a black hole.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Masks and Vaccines (RNA vaccines but normal vaccines help as well)

Explanation:

Masks: As we can tell cities that have a mask mandate have lower corona numbers

Vaccines: Vaccines give your body the antibodies that it needs to protect your body from infection without the virus. RNA vaccines are better than the normal vaccines because they are going to be produced faster than normal vaccines
