Answer:

1- DNA: a specific DNA sequence encodes a transcription factor which activates the expression of target genes involved in cell differentiation  

2- RNA: short non-coding RNAs may bind to enhancer regions and thus activate the expression of target genes involved in cell differentiation  

3- Environmental factor: temperature may control the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation pathways  

Explanation:

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the genetic material required to encode proteins. Some of these proteins are transcription factors involved in the activation of diverse signaling pathways, including, for example, cell differentiation and proliferation. On the other hand, microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that have the ability not only to repress but also to activate transcription by binding enhancer sequences. The miRNA activation mechanism has recently been discovered. In consequence, some miRNAs may potentially activate the expression of target genes involved in cell differentiation (e.g., <em>c-myc </em>gene). Finally, environmental factors (e.g., nutrient availability, salinity, temperature, etc.) may also activate gene expression and thus control diverse pathways such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation and cell death (apoptosis).

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Adaptive immune responses are triggered by activation of antigen-specific T cells that produce antibodies against foreign antigens such as, for example, harmful viruses. These immune responses are useful to eliminate dangerous molecules from the body. In a normal immune reaction, the antibodies produced by T-cells target antigen molecules in order to be subsequently absorbed by phagocytic macrophage cells.

Autoimmune diseases are triggered by the response of the adaptive immune system against self-antigen molecules. Since the immune system can not eliminate antigens from the own body, this immune reaction generates an excessive inflammatory response, and it may lead to the damage of tissues and organs.

Which is an example of biopsychology
pashok25 [27]
The scientific field of study that examines the relationships between biology and psychology, and how they influence behavior and cognition. For example, biopsychology examines topics such as how your eyes are able to inform your brain what you are reading, how the brain interprets this information, and how your brain communicates with your hand to move the mouse and click on different links.
