Answer:

A mutation is single change or alternation or multiple changes in the genome of the living organism. A mutagen is an agent which causes mutation. Tobacco products have been identified has mutagens. Some tobacco users develop cancer and some do not this is because of many reasons like : high levels of nicotine and nitrogen is necessary for producing smoke concentration in products like beedi, cigarette which have collectively high mutagenic potential, the age of tobacco leaves used for making tobacco products (old age leaves induce mutagenic potency higher then young leaves), tobacco products with low sugar content will be less mutagenic then with higher sugar contents. Also, the frequency of use of tobacco products also affects the level of mutagenicity. Higher the frequency of use, higher will be chances of occurrence of mutation. Therefore, cause of cancer is chiefly dependent upon the composition of tobacco products and frequency of their use.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
