why does cancer statically appear to run in families? (1 point)
Family members have similar genetic make-up that may make them predisposed to cancer.
Family members are exposed to similar environmental conditions.
Family members have a widely varied genetic make-up that can be affected by specific mutagens.
Family members share the contagious mutagens that can be passed by close exposure.

Question involving the equations for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (A^2+2Aa+a^2=1, A+a=1)
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Frequency of dominant allele is 0.9029

Explanation:

Total number of organisms = 12,845

Number of organisms representing dominant trait = 11,596. These organisms might have heterozygotes with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Hence, Number of organisms with recessive alleles = 12845 – 11596 = 1249

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 1249/12845 = 0.0971

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1- q = 1-  0.0971 = 0.9029

Which organisms have groups of cells arranged into organs
Talja [164]

Answer:

The correct answer is multicellular organisms.

Explanation:

Organs are differentiated structure formed by group of cells and tissues to perform the similar functions. When more than two organs perform specific function in a coordinated manner they form organ system.

Tissues and organs are a characteristic feature of multicellular organisms as more than one cell is present in these organisms and these cells aggregate together to form tissues, which further aggregate to form different organs carrying out the different functions attaining complexity.

Since, unicellular organisms do not have more than one cell, unicellular cells do not form tissues and lack organs.

Thus, the correct answer is multicellular organisms.

 which is absent in unicellular organisms.
