A species of beetle expresses a pigment protein as an adult but not as a juvenile. The pigment is encoded by the gene PIG. A pro

tein called KID, which is only present in juveniles, is a transcription factor that binds to the DNA near the protein-coding sequence for PIG. Do you think KID is a negative regulator of PIG or a positive regulator? Why?
Some individuals in the species never express the pigment (neither as a juvenile or as an adult). Do you think they have a mutation in the KID gene, the KID binding site, or in the protein-coding part of the PIG gene? Why? (the ‘why’ part of the question will only be used to help us give possible credit for answers different than what we think is the clearest answer)

Answer:

The KID protein is responsible for the no pigmentation at the juvenile stage. When the KID protein inhibits in the adult state, the pigmentation occurs in the body. This might occur because the KID protein acts as the repressor molecule and acts as a negative regulator of PIG protein.

The KID protein is responsible for pigmentation an adult stage.  Any mutation in the KID gene might result in the loss of pigmentation in the adult. The KID gene is responsible for the binding of the KID protein and mutation in this gene can lead to the arrest of KID protein. The protein is unable to release and PIG continuously repressed in the adults.

Hemophilia is a disease that causes uncontrollable bleeding. If a father has it, all of his daughters will be carriers of the di
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the following description is true.</em>

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. This means that only one allele recessive allele for the trait in males will cause the disease to occur in males. However, for females, there should be two recessive alleles present for the gene for the trait to occur. A female carrying one recessive allele for the trait will be a carrier.

If a father is hemophiliac, this will mean that all the daughters will be carriers for the disease as they will have one of the allele for the trait from the father. On the other hand, about half of the sons will have the disease if they get the recessive allele from the father for the trait.

Rocks in continental crust are as old as blank years
timofeeve [1]

Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: The rocks at the continental crust are present since a long time, and the oldest rocks so far encountered from the continental crust is approximately 4.4 billion years old.

          This has been determined by the Uranium-Lead dating method (Ur₂₃₈-Pb₂₀₆).

Oceanic rocks are estimated to be of very recent age i.e about only 180 million years old.

If ice is softer than rock, how can ice produce striations on materials harder than ice?
Andru [333]
That's because glaciers have rocks embedded in them, which cause these striations.
