Which of the following correctly describes the result of genetic mutations when they occur in a body cell?

Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein

A diploid cell has two pairs of homologous chromosomes. How many different combinations of chromosomes could there be in the gam

UNO [17]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

There will be 4 different combination of chromosomes

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

A diploid cell is a cell that contains two sets of each chromosomes; thus a diploid cell with two pairs of homologous chromosomes has four chromosomes.
Gametes are produced through meiosis which is the type of cell division in which a parent cells divides into four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent, that is the cell are haploid.
Therefore, a diploid cell with two pair of homologous chromosomes will produce four haploid cells after meiosis each with two chromosomes.

What primary event has occurred when a client experiences an ectopic focus?

Andreyy89

Ectopic focus or ectopic pacemaker happens when an excitable group of cells outside the normal sinoatrial node causes premature heartbeat. Sinoatrial node (SA node) is the pacemaker of the heart. Most people experience ectopic focus but persistent occurrence may need the client/patient to visit the doctor. If a client or patient complains of ectopic focus, it is better to consider his/her activity before visiting the clinic. Ask, for example if the client/patient had a vigorous exercise because it might be causing the irregular heartbeat, how often is he/she experiences such irregularity in his/her heartbeat (acute ectopic foci is usually non-life threatening, however, chronic type requires medical help), his/her lifestyle (he/she might be using illegal drugs, smokes and/or drinks alcohol,had too much coffee etc). Again, history taking is very vital.
