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 negative effects of tilling include _____. A increased soil erosion B reduced soil drainage C reduced need for energy input
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Tilling agitates the topsoil and removes ‘unnecessary’ vegetation so the main crop can grow without competition. Tilling improves soil aeration and drainage for plants to grow well.  Nonetheless, it can lead to other consequences such as soil erosion because it loosens the soil and makes it easy to be carried away by wind and water.
