Which of the following best describes how a liver cell and skin cell have the exact same DNA

Though not exact, the statement that best describes how a liver cell and skin cell have the exact same DNA sequence and yet look different and perform different functions is the last one, the DNA is expressed differently, which leads to proteins being "expressed" differently in each cell.

During early embryonic development, the few cells that make up our organism are totipotent in nature. A totipotent cell is one with the capability to produce any tissue in the human body. All the cells that later make up our bodies are derived from these.

This explains that although not all of the DNA sequence is expressed at all times, the DNA is still present in the cell, meaning that option 1 is false. Option 2 is also false due to the fact that although mutations can occur from time to time, they are certainly not a common process nor are they normal. Finally, option 3 is false given that tRNA's only role is to apport the correct amino acid for each sequence.

As development continues, cells specialize into specific tissues. They do this by compressing certain areas of their DNA, making it unreadable and therefore limiting the expression of that area of the genetic code. This causes the proteins that are synthesized to be unique for each type of tissue.

MrMuchimi

the correct answer is A- Reproductive isolation occurred through behavioral isolation

A process of formation of a new species from an existing species is called speciation. New species may formed due to geographical or reproductive barriers which isolates the members of a population of a species to form a new species.

In the given question, speciation in In the leopard frogs occurred due to a particular or specific call given by males to the females. The courtship call lead to reproductive isolation due to change in behavior. Such type of behavioral change will help in recognizing mates of the same species and this will act as a reproductive barrier among the other related species.

Answer:

Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides. During this process, sister chromatids separate from each other and move to opposite poles of the cell. This happens in four phases, called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Each gene in the human genome codes for a single protein. True or False?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The statement " Each gene in the human genome codes for a single protein. "is just wrong, as according to the basic knowledge of human genome, only about 2 percent of the genome codes for proteins. This answer does make difference and clearly explaines why the previous one is wrong. Hope you will find it helpful!
