DNA sometimes has chemical groups attached, called methyl groups, that affect gene expression. Suppose that, during each hour, f

irst a fraction m of unmethylated locations on the DNA become methylated, and then a fraction u of methylated locations become unmethylated. Find a recursion for the fraction f of the DNA molecule that is methylated.

Answer:

f = m - u

Explanation:

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification associated with the regulation of gene expression. As such, the analysis of DNA methylation marks and the dynamics of this process may shed light on the genes that are being expressed at a given time in a given cell type/tissue. In the example above described, f is defined as the fraction of the DNA molecule that is methylated after one (1) hour, whose value can be estimated by subtracting u fraction (i.e., fraction of methylated locations that become unmethylated) from m fraction (i.e., fraction of unmethylated locations that become methylated).

In consequence, the equation is

f = m - u

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1- By eating a supplement that enhances the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen, thereby reducing the oxygen dependence

2-  By developing structures that help to support high pressures, thus improving the ability to breathe in deeper marine habitats

Explanation:

Recently, it has been shown that beneficial mutations provided to marine mammals a biological adaptation associated with a higher ability to transport oxygen in red blood cells when compared to terrestrial mammals. This adaptation enables marine mammals to breathe less frequently to obtain the same amount of oxygen.

In birds, the airflow is unidirectional (i.e., inhalation and exhalation are complete), rather than mammals where the air in and out of the lungs. This mode of respiration helps the birds to tolerate the high pressures during flight.

How isn’t sunlight used in photosynthesis’s?
Nina [5.8K]
   Energize!

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source. That's why some foods that we eat, like rice and grains, are packed with starch!
