Answer:

The correct option is <em>C. Non-genetic factors can influence expression.</em>

Explanation:

Non- genetic factors can be described as factors other than genetic makeup. These factors include environmental factors and factors arising from the lifestyle of an organism.

Certain studies have shown that both the genetic as well as the non- genetic factors play a role in the development of certain characteristics.

In the above-mentioned scenario, both the monozygotic twins have diabetes but one of them is affected 70% of the time due to his lifestyle. The person might be consuming more sugars and alcohol.

Which vitamin can be synthesized in significant amounts by humans and, therefore, may NOT be essential
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct ansqwer is- Vitamin D

Explanation:

Vitamin D is the vitamin that can be synthesized by the human body itself therefore it is not an essential vitamin for human beings. Human skin is the part that helps in making this vitamin in humans.

The natural form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 which is formed by the sunlight exposure on the skin. When we expose our skin in the sunlight the UV radiation penetrated our skin and converts provitamin D3 into pre-vitamin D3 then this previtamin can be isomerized into the natural form of vitamin D Which is vitamin D3. So the right answer is vitamin D.
