During the warm temperatures of summer, the arctic fox produces enzymes that cause its fur to become reddish-brown. During the c

old temperatures of winter, these enzymes do not function. As a result, the fox has a white coat that blends into the snowy background. What explains this change in color?
Question 22 options:

The genes of a fox are made of unstable DNA.

Mutations can be caused by temperature extremes.

Random alteration of DNA can occur on certain chromosomes.

The expression of certain genes is affected by temperature.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) The expression of certain genes is affected by temperature.</em>

Explanation:

There are various factors which control the regulation of a gene. Temperature can be a regulatory factor for certain genes.

Probably, during the warm temperatures, the proteins regulating the fur colour to become reddish brown become activate these genes. As a result, the fur becomes evident.

In the winter, the enzymes controlling the fur might become degraded. A s a result, the genes are not able to express themselves. Hence, a white coat occurs.

Mama L [17]

By predicting how the sodium-potassium pump becomes integrated into outer cell membrane. The prediction that is false is the mRNA coding into sodium pump is translated into the pump on two ribosomes.

<h3>What is sodium-potassium pump?</h3>

The sodium-potassium pump is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) present in the membrane of all animal cells. It is also known as sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase, Na+/K+-ATPase, or sodium-potassium ATPase. It serves a number of purposes in cell physiology.

The enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase is activated (i.e. it uses energy from ATP). Three sodium ions are exported and two potassium ions are imported for each ATP molecule used by the pump. As a result, each pump cycle results in the net export of one positive charge.

There are four distinct sodium pump isoforms or subtypes in mammals. Each has distinct qualities and patterns of tissue expression. The P-type ATPase family includes this enzyme.

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.
