Answer:
Ss × ss
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The alleles for short hair (S) is dominant over that of long hair (s).
According to this question, a guinea pig with short hair (S_) is crossed to one that has long hair (ss) to produce offsprings that have 44 short hair and 46 long hair. This number of offsprings produced indicate a ratio of 1:1, which can only be produced if the short haired guinea pig is heterozygous i.e. Ss.
Therefore, the genotype of the parents are Ss (short hair) and ss (long hair) i.e. Ss × ss. This combination will produce offsprings with the following proportion: Ss (1) : ss (1).
Answer:
(look at the explanation below)
Explanation:
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.
A. Become cancer because in the process of mitosis (cell replication) idlf the cell replication does not work properly and keep going on and on it will begin creating mutations to help it replicate causing cancer to happen.
Ex: let's say you have a paper cut. Your blood cells must replicate in order to close that gap in your body. They begin replication but if they get out of control and begin creating mutations it will turn into cancer.
