stopped. These sh were later transferred
to a large pond. In the pond, the gold sh
grew much larger, reaching lengths of around
25 centimeters. Which statement provides
the best explanation for the increased growth
of the sh in the pond?
(1) Chemicals present in the pond increased
the amount of DNA in the sh, causing
the growth increase.
(2) The expression of genetic information

(4) The size of the sh depended only on
their food supply and not on their DNA.
(2) Slight decreases in gene expression will

below four peptides per second.
(4) An increase in the level of gene
expression in these
ve genes is
necessary for cancer to develop in cells.
