Ans.

Nicotine is an alkaloid compound that causes increase in blood pressure. Nicotine makes blood vessels narrow that leads to increase in pressure of walls of blood capillaries. It causes a rise in average blood pressure and faster heart beats.

A person with a family history of hypertension would avoid the smoking as nicotine present in cigarettes increases the blood pressure, which is dangerous.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). nicotine increases blood volume to unsafe levels.'

Why do we want to turn genes off or on?
Dmitrij [34]

The process of turning off and on of genes is known as gene regulation.

Explanation:

When the gene is turned on, it instructs the cells to construct a particular protein. The proteins are the molecules that build your body with collagen, tendons, and bones or keratin in your hair.

The gene regulatory proteins allow the individual genes of an organism to be turned on or off . in different cell types there are different selections of gene regulatory proteins. The patterns of the gene expression gives each cell its unique characteristics.

Each cell produces or turns on only a fraction of its genes. the remaining genes are repressed or turned off. this process is known as gene regulation. The signals from the environment or from other cells activate proteins called transcription factors.
