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.

Blue flower is dominant to yellow flower. Tall plant is dominant to short. Cross BbTt * BbTt. What precenetage of the offsprings
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 25%.

Explanation:

It is given that the Blue flower is dominant over the yellow flower which means Blue is represented by allele B here and allele b for yellow and Bb is a heterozygous case with a blue phenotypic character. Similarly, the Tall plant is dominant over short and represented by T and t respectively.

BbTt is a heterozygous condition and a cross with itself will produce :

Gametes: BT Bt bT and bt

          BT       Bt       bT       bt

BT     BBTT   BBTt   BbTT   BbTt

Bt      BBTt    BBtt    BbTt   Bbtt

bT     BbTT   BbTt    bbTT   bbTt

bt      BbTt     Bbtt    bbTt     bbtt

Here 4 out of 16 offspring are heterozygous for both traits represented by bold alphabets. Therefore the correct answer is 25%

Which observation about the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains would support the claim that exposure of weathering an
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B: The shorter and more rounded the Appalachian Mountains are more than four times older than the taller and more jagged Rocky Mountains

Explanation:

  • The Appalachian mountains form a system of mountains in eastern North America and are older than rocky mountains as they were formed 480 million years ago and are similar to those of the alps. They form a barrier to the east to the west.
  • They extend to southeast Canada and form zones of 300 miles wide. They form the mountain ranges surrounding hills and the dissected plateaus forming at an elevation of 6,684 meters from the sea level. <u>Whereas the rocky mountains are younger and have an elevation of 4,401 meters.</u>
