Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca

ncer and birth defects in animals and humans. It apparently acts by entering cells by simple diffusion and binding to proteins in the cytoplasm, then altering the pattern of gene expression. Which of the following are likely to be the cytoplasmic proteins to which dioxin binds?a. nucleosomes
b. DNA polymerases
c. enhancers
d. transcription factors
e. growth factor receptors

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Placing salty water in  A and distilled water in  B.

Explanation:

The fastest net rate of water movement into the A-side will occur if we place salty water on that side and distilled water in the other one. The reason for this is that the A-side contains a higher concentration of solute than B. So, the water will pass the semipermeable membrane and go to the A-side to valance the concentrations on both sides. As we can see, there is an increase in the net rate of water movement into A.

Arthropod exoskeletons and mollusc shells both ________.a.are secreted by the mantleb.help retain moisture in terrestrial habita
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

b. help retain moisture in terrestrial habitats

Explanation:

Arthropods such as cockroach, centipedes, spiders, crab are the members of the largest phylum Arthropoda. These are animals with paired jointed legs and their body is covered with an exoskeleton made of chitin. They live in diversified habitat and exoskeleton helps to retain moisture in theterrestrial habitats.

Similarly mollusks such as sepia, snail are soft bodied animal whose body is covered with calcareous shell as a protection and to retain moisture while living on land.

Imagine that you want to breed a species of rose that has a wonderful smell. You have many different types of roses, but none of
Natalija [7]

Answer: if i want to breed a rose and i don't have a certain kind of rose, i have to cross between them until i have a kind of rose that express the phenotype i was looking for. Once i've got it, i'll try to cross it with another rose and generate more species like that to cross with the rose that express the phenotype, this favors to generate a specie that have a pure phenotype.

Explanation: The answer is explain by the Mendel's laws.

Mendel's second law:

if you have two roses that are heterozygous and you cross them, their offspring have a 25% probability of generating a homozygous phenotype for a certain recessive characteristic (such as the rich smell of roses that is not a dominant character), 50% of generate heterozygotes with a dominant phenotype, and 25% generate other homozygotes with a dominant phenotype.

Once the offspring with the recessive homozygous character are obtained, it is possible to start making crosses between those of a recessive nature and there Mendel's first law applies

All the homozygous recessive individuals that are crossed will have a 100% homozygous recessive offspring.

Also, if you cross heterozygotes with another heterozygotes the offspring will be 100% heterozygotes
