What likely determines the phenotype of a given cell?

Biology
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Which genes are expressed in that particular cell

Explanation:

Not all genes are expressed at the same time. Distinct gene expression patterns define the identity of each cell.

For example, the genes involved in the function of muscle tissues are only expressed in muscle cells, not in skin cells (and vice versa).

Therefore, the phenotype of the cell is largely determined by the activity of genes in the cell

Describe the implications of inheritance of acquired characteristics for our modern concepts of how genes function
Julli [10]
The implication of inheritance of developed characteristics postulates that traits developed through one’s lifetime can be conveyed to offspring. It established from pangenesis in which postulates that data from all parts of one's body is conveyed to the next generation. Therefore, conferring to the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, the development of large bicep muscles over exercise would yield children with large biceps.<span />

There is nothing inherent in the nature of a large quadruped well-suited for long-distance running that requires us to call this
zzz [600]

Answer:

There is nothing inherent in the nature of a large quadruped well-suited for long-distance running that requires us to call this creature a "horse." This illustrates the linguistic design feature of <u>arbitrariness</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>Arbitrariness : </h3>
  • No resemblance between the language signal and the thing that it represents. It means there is no connection or relationship between the linguistic forms and the meaning e.g when we pronounce the word house, it has nothing to do with the shape of the house.
  • In animal communication, there is often a strong recognizable link between the actual signal and the message an animal wishes to convey.
  • In human language, there is no link whatsoever between the signal and the message.
  • There is no intrinsic connection between, for example the word elephant and the animal it symbolizes.
