Horses are much larger today than their two-foot tall ancestor, mesohippus. Geologists believe the change in size was the result

of changing environments, from tropical forests to a grassland habitat. Larger size would be an advantage for survival in this new habitat because A) taller horses could reach the leaves that grow high on trees. Eliminate B) larger horses could find food easier than the shorter horses. C) the larger horses were better camouflaged than the smaller horses. D) larger horses had longer legs and could run faster to escape predators.

Answer:

I think the answer is "D"

Explanation:

Heres the explanation that USA Test Prep gave me:

Larger size would be an advantage for survival in this new habitat because larger horses had longer legs and could run faster to escape predators. The open grasslands made it easier for predators to see the grazing horses, so in order to survive, the horses had to run fast to escape them.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
