TP53 is a recessive gene and is not located on the X chromosome, why would people who inherit just one mutant copy of a recessiv

e tumor-suppressor gene be at higher risk of developing cancer than those without the recessive gene?
Biology

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it is a recessive gene, tumor suppressor genes required the inactivation of both alleles, this is usually accomplished by the mutation of one allele and a targeted homozygous deletion of the second allele. This leads to an effective inactivation of the suppressor genes with the mutations acting a a dominant negatives. This way, patients are put at a higher risk of developing cancer

One characteristic that distinguishes a population in an extinction vortex from most other populations is that:________.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

D - Its genetic diversity is very low

Explanation:

An extinction vortex can be defined as the process which populations in decline pass through to drive them into a vortex of smaller populations, endangering their survival as they tread the path to extinction.

Populations that fall to extinction vortex already have small populations which is usually as a result of certain powerful genetic factors, which cause the populations to continue to decline in size.

During genetic drift which occurs in all populations, small populations tend to lose genetic diversity as a result of the random nature of gamete sampling.

This is because any change in alleles in a small populations can have dastardly effects on the populations size due to a small gene pool.
