Answer:

Genetic variation that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).

The nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for chemotherapy. Which is the best statement the nurse can make about the cli
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The effect of chemotherapy that most patients have the hardest time dealing with is the hair loss which can be really demoralizing. In the example situation given in the question, the nurse should reassure the patient who is experiencing chemotherapy-induced alopecia (alopecia meaning hair loss) that his hair loss is temporary and that it will be the way it was before when the chemotherapy is over.

I hope this answer helps.

How does a cells structure relate to its function in the body?
AleksandrR [38]
<span>The shape of a cell dictates the function of that cell. This is more pertinent to animal cells that, unlike plant cells, do not have a rigid cell wall. A misshapen cell cannot properly perform its intended function. </span>

16. What could be some weaknesses with using a test cross to determine Fred's genotype?
Sati [7]

Answer:

Weaknesses of a test cross

  • requires the observation of physical, phenotypic traits
  • requires a sizeable number of offspring to give reliable results
  • requires sometimes rarer, fully recessive individuals
  • the maturation time in order to observe the phenotypes expressed may be lengthy.

Explanation:

In a test cross, the homozygous recessive genes for a trait are crossed with those the individual with an unknown genotype. The homozygous alleles are the same. The unknown individual is thus, dominant, and may be either heterozygous (different alleles) or homozygous.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are formed from the independent assortment of genes. The parental genes are packaged together in new combinations. Thus, to determine an unknown, the test crosses determine which is the parent genotype through its ratios:

  • a homozygous dominant parent produces all heterozygous offspring
  • a heterozygous dominant parent produces homozygous and heterozygous offspring

However, the phenotypes must be observed to give results of this cross.
