What is the difference between a benign tumor and a metastatic tumor?

A benign tumour is generally not dangerous as they grow usually within a membrane in one space. They can however grow really big in a short space of time and can cause pressure on neighbouring blood vessels which can be dangerous.

Metastatic or malignant tumours are dangerous and cancerous. After they grow, some cells break off and travel in the bloodstream to a different area of the body (usually the main organs) and forms a secondary tumour there. This keeps happening until the cancer has spread to all of the body.

____ [38]

Answer:

The % of children with webbed digits is 50%

Explanation:

Given -

Syndactyly or webbed digits are due to the presence of  a dominant allele (S). Then the allele for normal digits would be represented by allele "s"

A normal man with normal digits and genotype "ss" marries a woman with webbed digits and has a hetrozygous genotype i.e "Ss"

If we cross Ss and ss , then the following offspring are produced -

Ss * ss

Ss, Ss, ss, ss

Out of four 2 offspring with genotype ss have normal digits and remaining two offspring with genotype "Ss" have webbed digits. Thus, the % of children with webbed digits is 50%
