<h2>False  </h2>

Explanation:

Alimentary canal components include mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas liver is a component of the accessory digestive system

  • The liver is a large organ that is located in the upper right portion of abdomen, beneath the diaphragm
  • The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes and the gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines
  • The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food
  • The liver's main role is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body
  • The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
  • The liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines and also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions

A gene on human chromosome 15 is expressed throughout the body. However, in the brain, only the maternal copy of the gene is exp
lord [1]

Answer:

C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.

Explanation:

The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.

In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.

When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.

Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.

hjlf
The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.
