The human GM-CSF gene and the mouse GM-CSF gene vary by more than 60% in their DNA sequence. However, when scientists place the human gene into mice, it functions properly. What best explains why this happens?

The difference between gene sequences does not change the structure of the proteins.
The resulting proteins made by the human gene are similar to the proteins made by the mouse gene.
The mouse DNA is a mutated form of the human GM-CSF gene.
Mice can make human protein without the use of the human GM-CSF gene.

Researchers randomly divide participants into groups. each group takes a different amount of omega-3 fatty acid supplements daily for a month. one group receives a placebo. the researchers measure the impact on cholesterol levels in the blood. what is the purpose of random assignment in this experiment? a, to produce treatment groups with similar characteristics b, to ensure that all people with high cholesterol have an equal chance of being selected for the study c, to increase the accuracy of the research results and prevent skewness in the data

To store strawberries in sugar syrup, lucy placed them in a jar and covered them with sugar but did not add any water. do you think syrup will be formed? justify. a. no. since water is not added, there cannot be any syrup formation. b. no. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the sugar to diffuse in the strawberry cells causing them to swell without formation of any syrup. c. yes. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the strawberry to diffuse out resulting in syrup formation. d. yes. the sugar will melt over time and form the syrup.

The smallest parts of these that retain their original properties are called
