Upon genetic analysis of the cancerous tissue, a mutated form of a gene, named the kid gene, was discovered in all affected indi

viduals but not in the unaffected individuals. What is the MOST likely function of the normal, nonmutated kid gene? A. tumor-suppressor gene B. acetyltransferase gene C. proto-oncogene D. telomerase gene E. DNA-repair gene

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

A scientist has a pea plant with yellow seeds. It has one allele for yellow seeds (Y) and one for green seeds (y).
Eva8 [605]

Answer:heterozygous

Explanation:

The genotype of an organism is its genetic makeup which is characterized by the presence of alleles of a gene.

The genotype can be broadly of two types :

1. Heterozygous - when an individual has 2 different variants of a gene known as alleles, then the person is said to be heterozygous for that gene.

2. Homozygous - if both the alleles of a gene are the same, then the person is said to be homozygous.

Since in the given situation you have two different alleles - yellow and green represented by Y and y, the individual is heterozygous.

Identify the positive and negative regions of these two molecules to show these van der Waal forces.
weqwewe [10]

The Van der Waal’s forces are the forces, which are formed by the attraction of two opposite charged bodies. This charge exists due to the formation of the dipoles in the molecules or atom. The dipoles formed due to the movement of the electron in the atoms. The strength of the dipole or Van der Waal attraction depends on the size of the atoms or the molecule. As the size increases, the strength of the Van der Waal force increases. The positive and the negative regions are shown in the attached picture.

Sveta_85 [38]
Mutualism is an association between organisms of two different species in which each benefits. Mutualistic arrangements are most likely to develop between organisms with widely different living requirements.
