Answer: The drug abuse is influenced by the environment and exerts influence on the gene expressions.

Explanation:

The genetic make up of the person is decides, which genes will be expressed and develop a trait in an individual. But this genetic expression can be influenced by the environmental factors like food, exposure to sunlight, and others. This study which relate environment with the genetic make up is called epigenetics. No person is drug addict by birth but the consumption of drug can influence the genetic make up and traits in a abuser. So here, the environment is influencing the genetic basis of a abuser.

A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. The student talked to one gr
timurjin [86]
The answer I believe would be talking to plants may or may not helps plants grow faster because the amount of water given was likely different for each group. I say this because there are more than one manipulated variables. (Each experiment should only have one manipulated variable to really be able to come to a conclusion) The student wants to see if talking to the plant will help. But the student also used different watering methods. So there was more than one manipulated variable. This can not give a good enough result because we do not know which affected the plant- the talking or the watering method/amount.

Hope this helps!

Savatey [412]
Emperor penguins have the ability to 'recycle' their own body heat. The arteries and veins lie close together so that blood is pre-cooled on the way to a penguin's feet, wings and bill and warmed on the way back to the heart. Emperors' feet are adapted to the icy conditions
