Is Retinoblastoma codominant?

Biology
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
5 0
The correct answer is no.
<span>The development of retinoblastoma occurs as a consequence of mutation of genes RB1 or MYCN. Those mutations occur in the early stages of fetal development and affect the way in which cells grow and develop within the body. The more common is the defective RB1 gene that can be inherited from either parent. The expression of the RB1 allele is autosomal dominant.</span>

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form

Veseljchak [2.6K]

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.

Newsweek in 1989 reported that 60% of young children have blood lead levels that could impair their neurological development. As
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is 83.38%.

Explanation:

The probability of young children having blood levels that impair their neurological development is given as 60% in the question. To find the probability of at least 5 children out of 10 in a sample having said blood levels, we need to use the binomial probability.

n represents the total number of children in the sample so n = 10 and p is the probability of the children having blood levels causing the problem which is 60% so p = 0.6.

We want the probability of it being observed for 5 or more children and that is P(x\geq 5). If we subtract the P( x\leq 4) from 1, which is the probability of not observing the condition in 5 or more children, we will have the P(x\geq 5).

1 - P(x\leq 4) = 1 - pbinom(4, 10, 0.6) which are the probability range in the function, the sample size and the probability of observing the condition respectively.

The result is 1 - 0.1662 = 0.8338 which means that the probability that is asked is 83.38%.

I hope this answer helps.
