The pattern of transcription for a pair of identical twins (Tweedledee and Tweedledum) is very similar at the age of 10. However

by the time they are 50, transcription of the leptin gene is much higher in Tweedledee than in Tweedledum. This could be due to what change in Tweedledum? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Explanation:

My best bet is DNA methylation at the site of Tweedledum's leptin gene or Histone Acetylation at the site of Tweedledee's gene.

B/c DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription. So this is probably repressing Tweedledum's leptin gene trancription which is not happening in Tweedledee.

Additionally, Histone Acetylation at site of Tweedledee's gene increases her trancription b/c Histone acetylation causes DNA to be more accessible and leads to more transcription factors being able to reach the DNA. Thus, acetylation of histones is known to increase the expression of genes through transcription activation.

arsen [322]

Answer:

osmolarity depends upon molarity.

glucose is a non-ionizing substance. it won't break down and will go as a whole.

osmolarity means the solute concentration of a solution.

here, the solvent is water.

therefore, 1 osmole = 1 mol

the ions of glucose after forming a solution (i) = 1

osmolarity = 1.5 M glucose × 1

                   = 1.5 osmoles of glucose.

A strawberry plant is an example of a plant that can reproduce through the process of vegetative reproduction. Are the offspring
alexandr402 [8]
The offspring will be genetically identical to the parent because vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction. Therefore, there is only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent.

Akimi4 [234]

The FOIL method is used to multiply binomials, or to multiply (x + 3) by (3x -12) for example. Then multiply the OUTSIDE terms together, or x and -12 to get -12x. Then multiply the INSIDE terms together, or 3 and 3x to get 9x. The multiply the LAST terms together, or 3 and -12 to get -36.
