Imagine that you are studying the control of β-globin gene expression in immature red blood cells (mature red blood cells contai

n β-globin protein but lack a nucleus and therefore the β-globin gene). If you deleted a sequence of DNA outside the protein-coding region of the β-globin gene and found that this increased the rate of transcription, the deleted sequence likely functions as a(n) _____.silencerenhancerpromoterpromoter-proximal elementany of the above

Answer:

Silencer

Explanation:

Silencers are the position and orientation free sequences that are present outside the protein-coding sequence of a gene. Silencers serve as a binding site for some transcriptional regulatory proteins that tend to inhibit gene expression. Binding of these "repressor" proteins to the silencers inhibits the gene expression.

The deletion of silencers from DNA would increase the rate of the gene expression as the inhibitory transcription regulatory proteins do not have binding sites to inhibit the gene expression. Therefore, the deletion of silencer sequences of the beta-globin gene would have caused the increased rate of its expression.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

1)200

Explanation:

The Sargasso Sea is constantly considered a lifeless environment, due to its high salinity and temperature, which are considered inhospitable for most species. However, the Sargasso Sea is rich in local species, accounting for more than 200 of them, composed of algae, crustaceans, fish, microorganisms, among others.

Fudgin [204]

Complete question:

In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.

How does this study support the  concept that natural selection is not random?  

Answer:

The study supports the  concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.  

Explanation:

All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

Mashutka [201]

The stimuli alter the activity of excitable sensory cells via Transduction.

Transduction is the method by which a virus transmit genetic material from one bacterium to another.

<h3>What is Transduction?</h3>

Transduction is defined as the genetic transfer from a donor cell to another recipient by a bacteriophage. The transduction consists of two stages:

-The formation of the transducer phage particle, the genetic material is introduced inside the capsid of a phage.

List three pieces of evidence for Pangaea.
kari74 [83]

Answer:The rock formations of eastern North America, Western Europe, and northwestern Africa were later found to have a common origin, and they overlapped in time with the presence of Gondwanaland. Together, these discoveries supported the existence of Pangea.When Rodinia broke up, it split into three pieces: the supercontinent of Proto-Laurasia, the supercontinent of Proto-Gondwana, and the smaller Congo craton. Proto-Laurasia and Proto-Gondwana were separated by the Proto-Tethys Ocean.
