A gene that is normally transcriptionally active can be "silenced" if it is relocated (through experimental manipulation) to cer

tain regions of the chromosome (e.g., near the centromere, which is "heterochromatin-rich"). This phenomenon is an example of

Answer:

Position Effect

Explanation:

Position effect is referred to the effect on gene expression when the gene is translocated from the location it is on a chromosome to another location.

As it relates to gene silencing and euchromatic gene repositioning, Position effect variegation best explains it.

Position effect variegation occurs when a gene in some cells is silenced as a result  of rearrangement of chromosomes which translocate or reposition euchromatic genes close to vicinity of heterochomatin. It is this abnormal chromosomal juxtaposition that leads to the gene silencing in stochastic pattern.

Pie

Answer: option D.

Explanation:

Theory of natural selection shows that different organism survive, adapt and reproduce in their environment due to their different phenotypic variation. The phenotypic variation exist among individual organisms and it is heritable which is transfer from one generation to another.

The pink parts of the graph represent the pH range where some common freshwater organisms survive. If the pH of a lake were to s
NeTakaya
Most organisms can tolerate a very narrow pH range close to neutral, i.e., around pH 7. It is likely that there would not be much life in the lake at pH 3. Once the pH increases to above 5.5 to 6, it is more likely that life would begin to survive. Once the pH rises to above around 9, the solution is starting to become basic, and once again, few organisms will survive.
