Scientists discovered that the difference between blond and dark hair comes down in part to a single nucleotide difference in th

e DNA sequence of an enhancer that lies more than 350,000 base pairs away from the gene it controls. On average, blonds transcribe this gene less efficiently than people with dark hair. How can a tiny difference in a distant enhancer make a blond?

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

A tiny difference in a distant enhancer make a blond through DNA Looping.

DNA Looping can bring the enhancer bound by an activator physically closer to the promoter even if the enhancer is located far away along the DNA molecule.

DNA Looping.

When a protein or a set of complex proteins binds to 2 different sites of DNA simultaneously while looping out the interfering DNA.  

Important of DNA Looping

  • It regulates metabolism of DNA
  • it is involved in transcriptional initiation of prokaryotic operons.

1)magnification goes by 10x (read 10 times), 100x,1000x and some goes 10,000x 

2)Always focus first using lowest power possible first, switch to medium power (100x) after it's focused on low power(10x), on 100x, use the small knob to focus it more. DO NOT touch the bigger nob when in medium or high power. Switch to high power (100x) when it is focused on medium power, again focus again using the small knob on high power. 

3) So it doesn't gather dust and fog up the lense? that one should be self explanatory

Match each phrase with the correct answer. Group of answer choices Organism in a lichen that provides protection [ Choose ] Orga
jekas [21]

Answer:

Organism in a lichen that provides protection - algae

Organism in a lichen that provides nutrients through photosynthesis - algae

Branched growth form of lichen - fruticose

Leafy growth form of lichen - foliose

Small and flat growth form of lichen - crustose

Explanation:

<em>Lichens are composite organisms that are formed from symbiotic relationships between fungi and cyanobacteria/algae. The Green algae layer offers food to the fungi by photosynthesis while the latter supplies nutrients and offers protection to the algal component. </em>

There are different types of lichen based on the growth structure:

Fruticose lichens grow upright and shrubby and posses either round or flat branches.

Foliose lichen appears like a leaf with upper and lower layers. They are usually flat or convoluted in nature.

Crustose lichens are small in appearance with flat, crusty growth on surfaces on which they grow.

Stels [109]

A field habitat vegetated by grass and other non-woody plants (grasslands) is known as a meadow. They are of ecological benefit as they are open, sunny regions, which fascinate and support fauna and flora that could not survive in other conditions.  

In the given case, when a fungus colonizes the meadow and destructs the majority of its vegetation, which comprises species of small shrubs and grasses, then this may result in the decline of herbivore species due to lack of vegetation on which they survive, which will eventually result in the reduction of carnivore species, as they feed on herbivores.
