Answer:
(c) Inherited a mutation in a gene required for mismatch repair
Explanation:
Gene mutations are occasional changes that occur in genes, that is, the procedure by which a gene undergoes a structural change. Mutations involve the addition, deletion or substitution of one or a few nucleotides of the DNA strand. Mutation provides the emergence of new forms of a gene and, consequently, is responsible for gene variability.
It is common for several members of the same family to have the same genetic mutations, as the gene affected by the mutation may condition a trait that DNA cannot repair. An example of this is the family shown in the question above, where several people were diagnosed with the same type of cancer while still young. What probably happened in this family was that people diagnosed with cancer inherited a mutation in a gene needed to repair incompatibility.
The process known as differentiation
Answer:
double helix, which is made up of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine).
Explanation:
This is because some of the trisomies (one extra chromosome, three instead of two) are fatal, births cannot survive.
Theoretically, trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage.
The types of autosomal trisomy that survive to birth in humans are:
Trisomy 8 or Warkany syndrome 2
Trisomy 9
Trisomy 13 or Patau syndrome
Trisomy 18 or Edwards syndrom
Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome.
