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.

liq [111]

Answer:Oxygen

Explanation: During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and energy. Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy.

The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O2 + 6O2 --> 6CO2+ 6H2O + Energy

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The environmental factors which need to be investigated before clearing the land can involve living and non-living factors. The land clearing will remove species of animals and plants acquiring their habitat in the forest. The loss of floral species will affect the faunal species. The faunal species will extinct, decrease in number or may migrate to different locations. Therefore, complete loss of biodiversity will result.

This will also result in disturbance important cycles in nature like water, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon which will lead to disturbance of rainfall, seasonal or weather changes. Soil an important non-living factor will loose it's fertility due to soil erosion.
