Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

1-Mother:

The probability to pass the disorder to her progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Father:

2-The probability to pass the disorder to his progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability to have the disorder is equal to the product of both independent events, i.e., 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%

If cells do not respond to the normal mechanisms that control cell division, _______ results.
natali 33 [55]

When cells do not respond to the signals that normally regulate cell division, cancer results. Cancer cells altered cell division in the presence of signals that normally inhibit cell growth, with this; they no longer require special signals to induce cell growth and division. The consequence of the abnormalities of these cells could lead to mutations in protein-encoding genes that regulate cell division.

<span>Moreover, they also inhibit the growth of nearby cells that allow the cancer cells to spread and invade other tissues. The uncontrollable division form masses of cells called tumors that can impaired nearby tissues. If these cells stay in their original site, they are considered benign, if they become invasive, they are considered malignant which means that cancer cells metastasize, sending tumor cells to distant locations in the body where new tumors may form.</span>
