answer 1
Response:
Gene regulation is the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed (used to produce a functional product, such as a protein).
Different cells in a multicellular organism can express very different sets of genes even though they contain the same DNA.
The set of genes expressed in a cell determines the set of proteins and functional RNAs it contains, giving it unique properties.
In eukaryotes, such as humans, gene expression involves many steps, and gene regulation can occur at any one of these steps. However, many genes are regulated primarily at the transcriptional level.
Introduction
Your incredible body contains hundreds of different types of cells, from immune cells to skin cells and neurons. Almost all of your cells contain the same set of DNA instructions - so why do they look so different and do jobs so different? The answer: different genetic regulation!
Gene regulation makes cells different
Gene regulation is how a cell controls which genes, among the many genes in its genome, are "turned on" (expressed). Thanks to genetic regulation, each type of cell in your body has a different set of active genes – despite the fact that almost every cell in the body contains the exact same DNA. These different patterns of gene expression cause your different cell types to have different sets of proteins, making each cell type uniquely specialized to do its job.
For example, one of the functions of the liver is to remove toxic substances like alcohol from the bloodstream. To do this, liver cells express genes that encode subunits (pieces) of an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme breaks down alcohol into a non-toxic molecule. The neurons in a person's brain do not remove toxins from the body, so they keep these genes unexpressed or "turned off". Likewise, liver cells don't send signals using neurotransmitters, so they keep the neurotransmitter genes turned off.

What are some differences and similarities between sexual and asexual reproduction?
Response
Response:
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
There are several different forms of asexual reproduction. These include budding, where the offspring grow outside the parent's body, and budding, where the parent releases a specialized mass of cells that will become a new individual.
There are two types of sexual reproduction. Syngamy is the permanent fusion of two haploid gametes to create a zygote. In humans, this is called fertilization. Conjugation, on the other hand, is a temporary fusion using a cytoplasmic bridge. This is especially seen in bacteria, which pass DNA through the bridge.
Asexual reproduction is reproduction that occurs without interaction between two different members of a species. Cells divide using mitosis, where each chromosome is copied before the nucleus divides, where each new cell receives identical genetic information
Sexual reproduction is reproduction that requires a male and female of the same species to contribute genetic material. Special cells called gametes are produced by meiosis, which halves the number of chromosomes in each resulting cell. These cells are called haploid gametes. Fertilization occurs when two gametes - one from a male and one from a female - combine to produce a diploid zygote with its own individual genetic makeup. Hope this helps

Which statements describe S waves? Tick all that apply. They move from side to side.
They arrive after the P waves.
They travel through solids.
They travel through liquids.
They occur on the surface of the earth
Response
Response:
The correct answers are "They move back and forth", "They arrive after P waves", and "They travel through solids".
Explanation:
S waves are one of two types of seismic waves, named after "secondary waves" because they are the second wave to arrive at an earthquake center after P waves (primary waves). S waves travel back and forth, so they are considered transverse waves. S waves travel through the body of solids, unlike other waves that travel on the surface of objects.

Adding further complexity is that the control of gene expression can occur at multiple steps: accessibility of a gene to activating transcription factors, transcription initiation, transcript elongation, splicing of the pre-mRNA, as well as post-transcriptional regulation.
What are the 3 elements of gene expression? ›Regulation of transcription can be broken down into three main routes of influence; genetic (direct interaction of a control factor with the gene), modulation interaction of a control factor with the transcription machinery and epigenetic (non-sequence changes in DNA structure that influence transcription).
During which stage is gene expression regulated? ›Gene expression is regulated to ensure that the correct proteins are made when and where they are needed. Regulation may occur at any point in the expression of a gene, from the start of the transcription phase of protein synthesis to the processing of a protein after synthesis occurs.
What are the stages of gene expression? ›It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.
What are the 3 mechanisms of gene transfer between bacterial cells? ›There are three “classical" methods of DNA transfer in nature: bacterial conjugation, natural transformation, and transduction (von Wintersdorff et al., 2016).
What are 3 factors that influence gene expression? ›Various factors, including genetic makeup, exposure to harmful substances, other environmental influences, and age, can affect expressivity.
When 3 or more pairs of genes control the expression of a trait? ›Two individuals which are heterozygous for three alleles, are crossed with each other.
What are the levels of regulation? ›There are three primary levels of regulation: registration, statutory certification, and licensure. These three levels vary in terms of legal restrictiveness and protections; each of the levels may be the best choice for a specific type of situation.
Which is the first stage of gene expression? ›
Transcription is the first step of gene expression. During this process, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into RNA. Before transcription can take place, the DNA double helix must unwind near the gene that is getting transcribed. The region of opened-up DNA is called a transcription bubble.
What is the first stage of gene expression called? ›The central dogma of gene expression includes two sequential steps: transcription (DNA to RNA) and translation (RNA to protein).
What are the 3 types of genes? ›Genetic diseases can be categorized into three major groups: single-gene, chromosomal, and multifactorial. Changes in the DNA sequence of single genes, also known as mutations, cause thousands of diseases.
What are the three 3 types of horizontal gene transfer seen in microbes? ›While eukaryotes get variation in genetic material from sexual reproduction, bacteria can only acquire new genetic material through horizontal gene transfer. Three types of horizontal gene transfer exist: conjugation, transformation, and transduction.
What are the three main steps of bacterial transcription? ›The process of Transcription occurs in three main stages: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.
What are the 3 modes of genetic recombination in bacteria transformation transduction and conjugation? ›This process occurs in three main ways: Transformation, the uptake of exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. Transduction, the virus-mediated transfer of DNA between bacteria. Conjugation, the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another via cell-to-cell contact.
How is gene expression regulated? ›Specifically, gene expression is controlled on two levels. First, transcription is controlled by limiting the amount of mRNA that is produced from a particular gene. The second level of control is through post-transcriptional events that regulate the translation of mRNA into proteins.
What are the major steps of gene expression quizlet? ›Gene expression has two stages. It is the process by which DNA directs the synthesis of proteins and, in some cases, just RNA's. it occurs in two stages, transcription and translation.
What is the correct order of events of gene expression? ›Thus, during expression of a protein-coding gene, information flows from DNA → RNA → protein. This directional flow of information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology.
What occurs when 3 or more alleles control a trait? ›When a trait has three or more distinct alleles, we refer to it as having multiple alleles inheritance. The human ABO blood type alleles/trait is an example of a trait with multiple alleles.
What is it called when one gene controls the expression of another gene? ›
Epistasis: Gene Interaction and Phenotype Effects.
What is it called when one gene affects the expression of another? ›Epistasis is a circumstance where the expression of one gene is modified (e.g., masked, inhibited or suppressed) by the expression of one or more other genes.
What are the 3 types of regulation? ›Three main approaches to regulation are “command and control,” performance-based, and management-based. Each approach has strengths and weaknesses.
Which step does most regulation occur? ›Because most regulation occurs at the initiation stage of translation, the molecular basis of this process is being studied intensively to elucidate the molecular details of every potential control point.
What is the regulation process? ›The process of creating Federal regulations is generally referred to as the "rulemaking" process. First, Congress passes a law designed to address a social or economic need or problem. The law authorizes a specific agency to be responsible for the law, including developing any necessary regulations to carry it out.
What are the expression of genes called? ›The genetic expression of a gene is called Genotype.
How are genes controlled in the cell? ›Gene regulation can occur at any point during gene expression, but most commonly occurs at the level of transcription (when the information in a gene's DNA is passed to mRNA). Signals from the environment or from other cells activate proteins called transcription factors.
What are the factors that control genetic expression? ›Environmental factors such as diet, temperature, oxygen levels, humidity, light cycles, and the presence of mutagens can all impact which of an animal's genes are expressed, which ultimately affects the animal's phenotype.
