Answer 1

Can anyone help me? I am making flash cards and can't find this

Answer 2

It is A.

Answer 3

@flcon04 are you sure? because I don't want my friend to be studying the wrong thing

Answer 4

i am pretty sure.

Answer 5

@ggw513 do you agree

Answer 6

I agree that it's the right answer but (assuming you're in Connections) I disagree that it's the answer that will be accepted as correct. I got it wrong on the unit test because I said A too. It's supposedly D but I think they made a mistake.

Answer 7

I guess if you think about it, D does make sense, because you're conserving energy by turning off unneeded genes until they're needed but I still think A should have been accepted as a correct answer too.

Answer 8

agreed, a sounds so much better, for the note cards I will put them both correct :)
