Answer:
a. M_D_
: 9/16 Black furred individuals
b. M__dd
: 3/16 gray furred individuals (1/16 MMdd + 2/16 Mmdd)
c. mmD_
: 3/16 Brow-furred individuals (1/16 mmDD + 2/16 mmDd)
d. mmdd: 1/16 gray furred individuals.
Explanation:
Available data:
- Dense pigment gene, D, codes for melanophilin.
- D allele dominant over d.
- Gene M/m is responsible for the production of the pigment
- M is dominant over m
- If D is present, M/m is expressed
- If dd is present, M/m is not expressed
- DDMM, DdMM, DDMm, DdMm --->Black fur
- DDmm, Ddmm ---> Brown fur
- ddMM, ddMm -----> Light gray fur

There is three types of neurons occur. Sensory neurons typically have a long denfrite and short axon, and carry messages from sensory repeptprs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons have a long axon and short dendrites and teansmit messages from the central nervous system to the muscles.
Open-mindedness is needed for the emerging scientific ideas to be accepted (or : to not be rejected without consideration).
Additionally, open-mindedness as a attitude often leads to new scientific ideas emerging: it means that people are more comfortable to try out new things and to test new hypotheses.
Answer:
The correct answer is A) Histone deacetylation generally decreases gene expression.
Explanation:
Histones are the proteins that are responsible for the condensation of chromatin, which is directly linked to the capacity that a gene has to be expressed. The more condensed a gene is, the less expressible it becomes.
In order to regulate the gene expression, histones can suffer from many modifications that can change their conformation and the expressiveness of specific genes.
<u>Histone acetylation is linked with an increase of gene expression; while deacetylation and methylation decrease gene expression.</u>
