In these imprinted cells, the SNRPN transcript overlaps with another gene, called UBE3A, which is transcribed in the opposite di

rection. This means that the region that the RNA polymerase transcribes in these two genes actually overlaps; in some cases, overlapping transcription in opposite directions leads to transcriptional interference, meaning that collisions between the polymerases traveling in opposite directions can interfere with transcription. It is believed that this takes place in this case, meaning that the more SNRPN transcription occurs, the more this disrupts transcription of UBE3A. Based on this information as well as information about the effects of imprinting on SNRPN transcription, which of the following statements about UBE3A transcription would be true?
a. The maternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the paternal copy is silenced.
b. The paternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the maternal copy is silenced.
c. Both copies of UBE3A are highly expressed.
d. Both copies of UBE3A are silenced.

Answer:

a. The maternal copy of UBE3A is expressed and the paternal copy is silenced.

Explanation:

When UBE3A chromosome is in neurons, paternal allele is silent and maternal allele is expressed in process of genomic imprinting. In some cases UBE3A is expressed from both paternal and maternal chromosomes. The paternal chromosome is blue whereas maternal chromosome is magenta.

Which of the following does NOT contribute to genetic variation among plants?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in the DNA sequences of individuals in a population. Genetic recombination is the main reason for the diversity of organism on earth.

The genetic variation takes place during gamete formation by recombination of DNA sequences which takes place during prophase of meiosis I.

Since genetic variation involves changes in the coding segments of the DNA called genes which leads to mutations, therefore, flowering time does not influence the genetic variation and option-A is the correct answer

Your _____ indicates that the relative humidity is very high. Rain probably _____ occur. anemometer; will anemometer; won't hygr
Kruka [31]
The answer is <span>hygrometer, will.

</span><span>Your <u>hygrometer</u> indicates that the relative humidity is very high. Rain probably <u>will</u> occur. 
Hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative humidity in the atmosphere. If the relative humidity is very high, then it rain will probably occur and vice versa.
Anemometer is an instrument used for measuring wind speed, thus it cannot be the right answer.</span>
