Answer:
Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.
The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.
Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.
The correct answer is: a. A site in DNA that recruits the RNA Polymerase
Promoters are regions of DNA molecule located near the transcription start codons of genes, usually upstream on the DNA with the function to initiate DNA transcription. Promoters contain specific DNA sequences (e.g. TATA boxes) that are binding sites for the enzyme RNA polymerase and transcription factors that recruit RNA polymerase. Transcription factors can regulate gene expression and act as activators or repressors depending on sequences that attach to specific promoters.
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that causes genes to be expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner.
After the Big Bang happened, the universe is constantly expanding. The Universe has expanded for around 13.7 billion years. The further a galaxy is, the faster it would move away from Earth. This principle is called the conservation of momentum.
