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.

In the process of glycolysis, what happens to glucose after it crosses the cell membrane into the cytoplasm of the cell?
malfutka [58]

Living organisms display the property of metabolism, which is a general term to describe the processes carried out to acquire and use energy. We know that people need to eat, and in our foods are various kinds of nutrients that our cells use. One large group of nutrients in our foods is carbohydrates, which supply our cells with glucose.

MAXImum [283]
<span>The specific heat of the metal is 0.5 cal/ (0C.g). This means the energy needed is 0.5 cal to raise the heat of 1 gram of metal by 1 degree C. Therefore, the energy needed to raise 100 g of the metal by 20 degrees C is:
0.5 * 20 * 100 = 1000 cal.
