"Double nickel" has long been a slang term for the number 55, because of its two 5's. Similarly 555 is a "triple nickel". The term's use for highways dates to the 1970s when the Transportation Department imposed a nationwide speed limit of 55 mph in an effort to curb gasoline consumption.
A nationwide speed cap was one of many limits put on energy use because OPEC (which was then much more powerful than it is now) had restricted oil sales to the US. The resulting shortages brought about an economic crisis as supplies dried up and prices spiked.

How does the difference between euchromatin and heterochromatin relate to gene expression regulation?
Euchromatin is loosely packed and allows for gene expression, while heterochromatin is tightly packed and restricts gene expression. This difference in chromatin structure plays a key role in regulating gene expression by controlling which genes are accessible for transcription.

What is the difference between gene expression and protein expression, and how do they relate to each other in the process of cellular function?
Gene expression refers to the process by which information from a gene is used to create a functional product, such as a protein. Protein expression, on the other hand, specifically refers to the production of proteins from the genetic information encoded in genes. In the process of cellular function, gene expression is the first step where the information in a gene is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into a protein through protein expression. Proteins are essential for carrying out various functions in a cell, so the relationship between gene expression and protein expression is crucial for the proper functioning of cells.
