Cell differentiation occurs when various genes are expressed to a different extent in different cells. What does it mean for a g

ene to be "turned off," or not expressed?

Furkat [3]3 years ago

Based on cell differentiation, what it means when a gene can be "turned off" or "turned on", or not expressed is what we call INDUCIBLE GENES. Other genes are inducible having this characteristic. When a gene is inducible, this means it can be responsive to its external environment or not. Hope this helps.

How did land whales eventually became aquatic?
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

To swim, they move their tails up and down, rather than back and forth as fishes do. This is because whales evolved from walking land mammals whose backbones did not naturally bend side to side, but up and down. ... Whales do the same thing as they swim, showing their ancient terrestrial heritage.

Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses.

A rapid mechanism is thought to govern the localization of AQP5 in response to changes in extracellular osmolarity. If this mech
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.
