Answer:

An Enhancer

Explanation:

Enhancers are the regulatory sequences and are generally located 80-160 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. Enhancers have bidirectional elements that are involved in the initiation of transcription. Enhancers serve as the binding sites for activators to increase the concentration of activators in the vicinity of the promoter and thereby increase the rate of transcription of the gene.

According to the given information, the loss of a regulatory sequence led to a reduced level of transcription of the gene. This means that the regulatory sequence was involved in the upregulation of transcription. The presence of the sequence far away from the promoter makes it an enhancer.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Considering the boys' situation, the boys live in the rural areas of one of the western United States, e.g. California.

Explanation:

Hantavirus is spread by rodents and is most common in rural areas of the western United States during the spring and summer months.  Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome also occurs in South America (especially in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia).  Hantavirus cases have also occurred in Canada and some parts of Asia, where they reportedly caused kidney disorders rather than lung problems.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The scientific method :

Make an observation.

Ask a question.

Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.

Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.

Test the prediction.

Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or prediction

Explanation

that's the scientific method but there are many example to how you use it in everyday life i.e the lights went out and you want to find out why, perhaps you didn't pay your bill or maybe the power went out.  then you would go through the steps to find out what happened
