A cell has an inactivating mutation in one of its two p53 alleles. If this cell sustains DNA damage (e.g., to the HER2 gene), wh

Answer: Cell apoptosis (cell death)

Explanation: p53 protein determines whether the DNA of a cell will be repaired or damaged when the DNA is affected by harmful agents (e.g. Radiation, toxic chemicals). If the DNA cannot be repaired the protein prevents the cell from dividing and signals the cell to undergo cell death, by this apoptosis of the cell, this stops the cell from undergoing mutation or division which then prevents the development of tumours.

Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but it is not practical to perform a Pun
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are certain limitations associated with the Punnett Squares. They are not useful in case of complex genetic inheritance such as linkage between two genes. In case of linkages it becomes difficult to estimate the distribution of genotypes and phenotypes. For example in case of  Nail-patella Syndrome and gene associated with blood group two genes lie on the same chromosome in close vicinity and hence there are high chances of inheritance of these traits in the offspring from the parent thereby causing  random distribution of the two traits. This random distribution cannot be captured through punnet square.  

The same problem is associated in case where a single gene is determined by multiple genes with graded effects of each gene.

Which of the following best describe how genes allow cells to carry out essential life functions?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The genes are coded to produce specific proteins, by the process of transcription and translation.

These proteins then, lead to the production of characteristic traits like eye color, hair color etc.

So genes indirectly control the traits

Because the majority of cell differentiation occurs during the EMBRYONIC phase, .................. The embryonic stage of pregnancy is the period after implantation during which all the important organs and structures in the growing fetus is formed. Tetratogens are factors that caused malformation of embryo. Exposure to tetratogens during embryonic stage cause most destructive damages.

Which dance resulted from the development of a culture technique for muscle cells
Whitepunk [10]

Rhythm Salsa resulted from the development of a muscle cell culture technique.

<h3>How to do cell culture?</h3>

To obtain a cell culture, it is necessary to disaggregate the original tissue, which can be by mechanical force or enzymatic process. These cells are grown in an adherent layer in a single layer (monolayer) or in organoid format (3D culture) or in suspension.

With this information we can conclude that rhythm Salsa resulted from the development of a muscle cell culture technique.
