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.

Which enzymes are secreted only by the pancreas?
a_sh-v [17]

Nucleases are the enzymes that are unique to the pancreas. These are enzymes which break down nucleic acids DNA and RNA into nucleotides. When these nucleotides reach the ileum, they are further degraded or digested into sugars, bases and phosphates. These nucleases are known as DNAase and RNAase

Other pancreatic enzymes such as amylase and protease are also produced by other digestive organs such as the salivary glands and the small intestine respectively. However no other digestive organ has been known to produce nucleases apart from the pancreas.

Nucleases are of two  main types, namely exonucleases which cut off the end of a nucleotide and endonucleases which will cut out certain nucleotide sequences right in the middle of a nucleic acid.

A crop is treated with a pesticide and 98% of the insects are killed. what will most likely happen to the remaining insects?
Marina CMI [18]

The 2% of the insects will begin to reproduce and grow their population exponentially and in time enable the population to recover. This is if the population is large enough to enable random mating. The 98% reduction in population drastically reduces competition for the remaining individuals hence giving them abundant resources for them to thrive.
