Carcinogenic mutation is not inheritable as they are not genetic. For the offspring to inherit something, that thing should be rooted from the sperm and egg. Carcinogenic mutations are environmentally acquired that cannot be passed on through the reproduction and DNA.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See the attached for the Punnet square

Likelihood of their child having short eye lashes - 50% or 1/2

Explanation:

Let the allele for eye lashes be represented by E. Homozygous genotype will be EE (for long eye lashes) or ee (for short eye lashes) while heterozygous genotype will be Ee. Assuming long eye lashes allele E is dominant over shor short eye lashes e:

Heterozygous man marries a short eye lashes woman: Ee   x   ee

Ee  x  ee = Ee (long lashes), Ee (long lashes), ee (short lashes) and ee (short lashes.

<em>That is, 50% or 1/2 of the offspring will have long eye lashes while the remaining 50% or 1/2 will have short eye lashes.</em>

Please answer.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. an unbalanced force.

Explanation:

If an unbalanced force were applied to the glass of water (for example, someone pushing the glass, lifting it up, etc.), this would cause it to move.  However, a balanced force (if two people were to simultaneously pull the glass in opposite directions with the same amount of force) would not cause the glass to move.  Gravitational force acts on all objects; the force due to gravity is already acting on the cup at rest and will not cause it to undergo motion.  Friction is also already acting on the cup in the form of static friction, making it harder for someone to move the cup, so frictional force will not cause the cup to move either.  Therefore, the correct answer is D. an unbalanced force.

Hope this helps!
