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.

Most fungi grow best at pH<br> a. 1<br> b. 5<br> c. 7 <br> d. 9<br> e. 14
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: pH 5 Acidic environment.

Explanation:

The fungi grows best in the acidic environment, this is because the fungi grows in a moist, warm and darker environment.

The fungus grows at lower pH. When the fungal species was grown in the laboratory conditions then under low pH, the fungal species grow more properly.

Hence, the best environment for the growth of fungus is pH 5.

A. The following statements are hypotheses:
1. Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth.
2. Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria.

B. The following statements are observations:
1. The bacterial colony grown without glucose do not have capsules around their cells.
2. Bacteria growth in the glucose environment increase rapidly and then stopped after sometime.

why does the presence of 22 large herbivore species at Mpala seem to contradict the competitive exclusion principle Dr. Pringle
stealth61 [152]

Dr. Pringle suggests that there's only very few large herbivorous species that can survive in certain area. The reason behind his claim is that according to him there will be only enough food for few large species, so there's natural limitations in the food sources, as there should be enough to support them in order for them to survive.

On the other hand, in Mpala, there's 22 large herbivorous species, which directly contradicts Dr. Pringle's hypothesis. The reason why so many large species of herbivores an survive in Mpala and always have enough food for all of them, is that they have all specialized in eating certain types of plants or parts of plants, thus they are not direct competition to one another, and there's always enough food for all of them.
