Question

Depending on environmental conditions, specific genes can be either A) norms or schemas. B) active or inactive. C) identical or fraternal. D) X chromosomes or Y chromosomes.

Answer 1

B) active or inactive

Step-by-step explanation:

B) Genes can be either active or inactive depending on environmental conditions because gene expression is regulated by various factors such as cellular signals, epigenetic modifications, and environmental cues. When a gene is active, it is being transcribed and its instructions are utilized, while an inactive gene is not being transcribed and remains dormant, not contributing to cellular processes.
