The answer is E. Arctic temperatures are increasing; the arctic fox is hibernating for longer periods of time.
Since the temperatures are increasing, Winter becomes longer, giving organisms a longer time to hibernate. Hope I helped :)
The question here is, is glucose a protein? No, it's not; it's a carbohydrate.
So pepsin would not break it down: it would most probably not react with glucose at all, since pepsin breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates. <span />
Some wisdom teeth is completely unharmful, as long as your mouth have enough space for it to grow healthy and you are sure that you can clean it properly, they make no problems.
However, if your mouth is too small, wisdoms teeth may grow in a tilted angle, this is big problem indeed. It may cause damage to other teeth since it doesn't grow upright. In addition, it may be a big problem to clean it properly so tooth decay may occur.
Therefore, it's better to visit the dentist and see if your wisdom teeth cause problem and whether you need to remove them or not.
Answer:
C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.
Explanation:
The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.
In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.
When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.
Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.
