During the warm temperatures of summer, the arctic fox produces enzymes that cause its fur to become reddish-brown. During the c

old temperatures of winter, these enzymes do not function. As a result, the fox has a white coat that blends into the snowy background. What explains this change in color?
the genes of a fox are made of unstable DNA
mutations can be caused by temperature extremes
random alteration of DNA can occur on certain chromosomes
the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.
