Hi!

The correct option is B. Which genes are active.

Embryonic differentiation is a developmental process by which embryonic cells give rise to specialized cells and a diverse range of tissue structures. All of this unique cells essentially rise from a type of cells that are known as pluripotent cells.

But how do these pluripotent embryonic stem cells know which cells to differentiate into? This is where genes come into play. The cell has an inherent signalling ability that determines which gene is to be active and expressed. These specifically activated genes then translate into proteins for which it is specific, giving each cell, tissue and organ its particular identity.

Hope this helps!

I would say immigration only.

emigration would theoretically reduce the genetic variation as unique individuals leave, but immigration would bring unique traits into circulation in an ecosystem.

I'm not super great at biogy tho so this might not be right... :)

Which imaging techniques does not collect information about brain functioning

Dahasolnce [82]

There are various imaging techniques in collecting information about the brain and its adjacent structures. To enumerate, there are the cranial ultrasound (for children with cranial sutures that are not closed yet), cranial CT-scan, cranial MRI, brain PET scan, and cranial functional MRI. Only the brain PET scan and cranial functional MRI can collect information about the brain function by detecting fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the brain as this lights up in functional areas of the brain in PET scan; and by detecting brain activity through changes in blood flow in cranial functional MRI.

<em>While it is not an imaging technique, electroencephalogram or EEG can detect brain function.</em>

Butterflies of the genus colias live in the rocky mountains. Why do they exist in this types of area?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

This is because these species of butterflies has two variant of enzymes.which makes them well adapted to the varied range of temperature exposed to in this habitat, and therefore ensures their activity at wide temperature ranges.

Generally, rock mountains has wide range of temperature. Therefore the possession of variant of enzymes ensures sustainable of biochemical reactions for survival of theses species <u>because of the resistance of these enzymes to high varied rocky temperature.</u>
