<u>Answer</u>: Option 4 The genes in each type of cell are being expressed differently

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Both skin cells and muscle cells are somatic cells i.e the cells that make up the body parts.
  • Since, both of them are somatic cells they both contain the <em>same number of chromosomes</em> which  in case of humans is  23 pairs.
  • The set of genes present in each type of cell in the body is the same and therefore, both muscle cell and skin cells have the same genes.
  • The reason why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same is that even though these cells contain the <em>same genes</em>, there is <em>differential expression of genes</em> in these cells.
  • Differential expression of genes basically means that different combination of genes are activated in a cell which plays a role of defining the purpose of the cell.
  • This means that the set of genes that are activated in the skin cells are different from that of the muscle cells.
  • As the <em>genes are being expressed differently</em> in the muscle and skin cells, both these cells acquire different characteristics and thus, look different and perform different functions.

So out of all the options, option 4 is the correct one.

The correct option is (D).

<h3>What is a cladogram?</h3>

Cladograms are diagrams that depict the relationships between different taxonomic groups, or "clades."

Cladograms are made up of species that have similar derived traits.

Cladogram uses lines to make diagrams. And upper line contain the ancestor species.

If everyone on the planet used the same amount of
Contact [7]

Answer:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

Sowe actually would need like 5 Earths.

So none of the options is matches this, but this may be because this question is about some specific resources and not for the specific energy used. The closest option is 200%
