Answer:
B. Cells in Alex’s body underwent mitosis to create new tissue
Explanation:
Mitosis is the cell division that forms two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell. It occurs in somatic cells and is responsible for the growth and development of individuals.
Alex gained the height as the cells in tissues of his body underwent the mitosis and produced new daughter cells. Repeated cycles of mitosis added a large number of new cells to his body to form new tissues in his body parts and caused an increase in his height.
Answer:
(A) two
Explanation:
A heterodimeric protein consists of two polypeptides (a polypeptide is a chain of amino acids) that differ in amino acid composition, number or order in the chain sequence. Each polypeptide makes a different subunit of the protein.
One gene encodes one polypeptide, so if the protein has two different polypeptides, two genes are required to form this protein.
Answer:
Within a population, each individual mutation is extremely rare when it first occurs; often there is just one copy of it in the gene pool of an entire species. But huge numbers of mutations may occur every generation in the species as a whole.
