Adenine pairs with thymine. Cytosine pairs with guanine.
A=T C=G
The molecule DNA contains the four bases listed below.
A – adenine C – cytosine G – guanine T – thymine
Which base pairings normally occur during DNA replication?

the expression of genes is influenced by the environment
Two identical twins look different. Twin A is a nonsmoker, Twin B is a longtime smoker. The best explanation for the differences in the appearance of the twins is that

The environment influenced the expression of fur color genes.
The Siamese breed has a gene that controls fur color. Cat A has all-white fur and is kept indoors. Cat B has white and black fur and is kept outdoors. The best explanation for the differences between the two fur colors is
200
more genes in each cell than a person with a normal chromosome number
Sometimes, a person is born with one or more extra chromosomes in each cell. This usually results in abnormalities because the affected person has

gene expression due to the differences in abiotic conditions
In the winter, Himalayan rabbits have white and black fur. In the summer, the rabbits have all-white fur. The changes in fur color are most likely due to
