When people have an external locus of control and believe they have a genetic predisposition to cancer then they will sabotage their efforts to take appropriate action.

Although the risk is increased, having a genetic predisposition to cancer does not guarantee that you will develop the disease. This is because the gene does not directly cause cancer. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes are frequently to blame for a hereditary susceptibility.

Breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and other cancers may have a genetic predisposition. According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, "About 5–10% of all malignancies are hereditary, providing a comprehensive review of a genetic susceptibility for cancer and how it may affect diagnosis.

Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment and how the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio among the F2 of a dihybrid cross provides ev
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a <u>parental generation of a cross between two pure lines</u> (homozygous for both genes) <u>with different traits</u>, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). <u>The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (</u>yellow and round)<u>, and genotypically heterozygous (</u><u>YyRr</u><u>)</u>.

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another,  we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

  • If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
  • The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.

Burka [1]

When an earthquake occurs energy is transferred, from where the rocks break, and travels throughout the world. The bigger the quake the further from the epicentre the waves will travel. There are two types of earthquake wave generated during an earth quake. They carry energy away from the earthquake epicentre.

What structure do a rabbit cell and a bacillus (bacteria) cells have in common?
Anna11 [10]

They both have a bilipid cell membrane. This means that their cell membrane is composed of phospholipids.  Both cells also have ribosomes. This is a critical cell organelle that is involved in the translation of mRNA to proteins. Their genetic material is also made up of deoxyribose sugars (DNA).
