Scientists discovered that the difference between blond and dark hair comes down in part to a single nucleotide difference in th

e DNA sequence of an enhancer that lies more than 350,000 base pairs away from the gene it controls. On average, blonds transcribe this gene less efficiently than people with dark hair. How can a tiny difference in a distant enhancer make a blond?

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

A tiny difference in a distant enhancer make a blond through DNA Looping.

DNA Looping can bring the enhancer bound by an activator physically closer to the promoter even if the enhancer is located far away along the DNA molecule.

DNA Looping.

When a protein or a set of complex proteins binds to 2 different sites of DNA simultaneously while looping out the interfering DNA.  

Important of DNA Looping

  • It regulates metabolism of DNA
  • it is involved in transcriptional initiation of prokaryotic operons.

Alligators, crocodiles, and snakes are all reptiles. However, alligators are more closely related to snakes. Which statement MOS
Delvig [45]
Are there any statements given for this assignment? Because according to what I know, alligators and crocodiles are more related to birds because of archosaurian origins. However, crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes because the evolution of birds  from having snouts to beaks are slightly evident in crocodiles for they have more pointly snouts.

a black rooster Mated with a white hen. based on genotypes, the chance that the offspring will be checkered is 100 percent. what
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The genotypes of the rooster and the chicken are homozygous and that of their offspring is heterozygous.

This case is called codominance, where the offspring receives an allele from each parent, from the rooster and the hen, because there is codominance, so neither allele is recessive and the phenotype of both alleles is expressed so the phenotype of the offspring is checkered.

We can say then that the chicken and the rooster have equal strength between their alleles. in the cases of codominance the laws of mendel do not apply.
