Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

In a multi-cellular organism, all cells contain same DNA content. However, not all genes (protein coding sequence of the DNA) are expressed in all the cells.

During development or growth or repair different cells express different sets of genes at a time and repress other genes.

The same is explained in the option C.

Cells do not use the same sections of DNA, that is, genes in the same proportions, that is, expressiveness at the same time in development, which leads to differentiation.

For example, different blood cells are formed or differentiated from the same stem cells. It is because different cells express different genes during the development. consequently, different proteins or traits are developed in different cells which ultimately leads to the production of differentiated cells.

All the cells in a person's body have the same DNA and the same genes. However, the difference between cells in different tissues and organs is that the "expression" of the genes differs between cells. For example, liver cells have different proteins than skin cells, even though their DNA is the same.

So your answer is B

Microscopic plants called algae grow inside the top layer of sea ice in the Antarctic if enough sunlight reaches that layer of i
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: (A).

Explanation:

  • In the question, it is mentioned that the algae can grow under the conditions of "enough sunlight" and "enough nutrients".
  • Sunlight reaches the algae, by first falling on the surface made up of ice and snow and then refracting from there into the top layer of the ice where the algae grows.
  • However, the capability of both snow and ice to reflect sunlight is far more than that of refracting sunlight.
  • Therefore, the amount of light received by the algae is similar in absence or presence of the layer of snow on the top layer of ice.
  • However, on deposition of snow on the layer of the ice, the weight of the ice increases and it sinks below into sea water.
  • This allows more nutrient rich sea water to percolate into the ice and reach the algae.
  • The algae receive more nutrients from the sea water and hence is capable undergoing better metabolism and growth.
  • Hence, more algae are produced under such a situation.
