Answer: Germline mutation
A germline mutation is a mutation in the fully developed germ cells (sperm and ovum). These defective mutated cells fuse to form zygote. The zygote rapidly produces all somatic and germline cells in the offsprings which are also mutated. Therefore, mutation is transmitted from parents to offsprings. Cystic fibrosis is a result of germline mutation. This disease is hereditary in nature passes from parents to the offsprings. If a child receives CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) mutated gene from both the parents than the child will be affected by the symptoms of this disease. If the child receives a single copy of CFTR gene from either of the parent than the child will be the carrier of disease.The mutated gene may be present in the germline cells of the parent or on all the body cells.
Answer:
Metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions in the body, including those that use oxygen and create carbon dioxide. Oxygen and carbon dioxide, therefore, are involved in both respiration and metabolism. Metabolic reactions are sometimes referred to as cellular respiration, which can cause confusion.
One strand of DNA contains many proteins.
Answer:
b. the laboratory setting may not be a good representation of the real-world setting
Explanation:
The laboratory setting is different from the real world settings due to the real world settings having uncontrolled variables and conditions. Whereas the laboratory setting have controlled variables and conditions in which experiments could be performed under. The controlled or uncontrolled conditions could either influence the experiments positively or negatively.
