Answer:
A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. If a gene pair contains a dominant allele, then the offspring will show this dominant trait.
Answer: option A - tumor-suppressor gene
Explanation:
A cancerous tissue is growing or spreading rapidly at a harmful rate. However, for a tissue to become cancerous, its "internal guard" usually known as a TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE must have lost or reduced its function.
This loss of function occurs after mutation.
So, definitely, all affected individuals with cancerous tissues have mutated tumour suppressor genes unlike unaffected individuals.
Note that other options are WRONG, because none of them accurately distinguishes affected from unaffected individuals
Parental genotypes: RrYy x RrYy
Offspring genotypes: RRYY, RRYy, RRyy, RrYY, RRyy, rrYY, rrYy, rryy
The conclusion is incorrect because there is a chance that the offspring may have the genotype rryy, in which it has no dominant alleles.
Haploid:Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes.
Diploid:Containing two sets of complete sets of chromosomes,one from each parent.
Answer:
alternating sugar (ribose) and phosphate groups also -adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).
