The correction option is B.
DNA is the genetic material in living organisms and it is the basis for inheritance. DNA molecule is made up of nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. In order for the genetic information in the DNA molecules to be preserved, the components of the DNA must be arranged in the correct order without any any error. Thus, for the nitrogenous bases inside the DNA molecule, they must be correctly paired with  one another.

Answer:

B. Erosion

Explanation:

Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Erosion is the process of wind, water, and ice breaking down rocks tint smaller pieces. Erosion breaks down igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks. Erosion breaks down igneous rocks in the same manner as it breaks down other rocks

The genetic disease blue sclera is determined by an autosomal dominant allele. The eyes of individuals with this allele have blu
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.

In a maternity ward, four babies become accidentally mixed up. The ABO blood types of the four babies are known to be. Baby Jane
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We inherit our blood groups from both parents. Our blood type is controlled by a single gene. This gene displays 3 different allelic pairs which must include A, B or O.  A child is expected to receive one of the three possible allelic pairs from each of the both parents. This means that there are six possible genotype and four possible phenotype for the child.

Given that Christopher's parents (Andersons) are AB and O,Christopher can have a B blood group.

Given that John's parents (Browns) are A and O, it explains how John can have blood group A.

Given that The Christiansons are A and AB, they can give birth to Robin whose blood group is AB.

Since the Dietrichs are O and O, the only possible blood group of their child is O, hence they are definitely the parents of Jane.
