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.
Answer:
The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein and pumps it into the aorta, while the right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava and pumps it into the pulmonary vein. The pulmonary vein and aorta also have valves connecting them to their respective ventricle.
Explanation:
Experiment Title: Does soil pH affect the color of tomato fruits?
A. Thesis statement: A high soil pH yields red tomatoes.
Set up: 9 pots each filled with soil of varying pH will be used in this experiment. The pots will be assigned into three groups: The control group will contain soil that has a neutral pH, the basic group will contain soil that has a pH greater than 7, and the acidic group will contain soil that has a pH lesser than 7.
The amount of water and sunlight received by the groups should be equal to eliminate other factors that could possibly affect the color variations. By keeping these factors the same, color variation would solely depend on the pH of the soil.
Control Group: It is necessary to keep the soil pH of the neutral group to be exactly 7. By making it neutral, we would be able to know what the natural color is exhibited by the tomato fruits.
The dependent variable in this experiment would be the color exhibited by the tomato fruits. The color exhibited is believed to be dependent on the pH of the soil. By having three samples each with varying pH, it is expected that there will be color variation.
Data Collection:
When the tomato plants bear fruits, determine the color of the fruits produced from each group. Create a table with two columns: the first column would be the group where the fruit belongs and the second column would be the color exhibited. Compare the data gathered from the three groups.
Data analysis:
A scenario which will support your hypothesis would be: the group which contained the basic soil produced red tomatoes. The neutral group produced orange tomato fruits while the acidic group produced yellow tomato fruits. It was found out that the higher the soil pH, the fruit color takes on a redder hue whereas if the pH keeps on going down, the fruit takes on a yellow a hue.
Answer:
Ovary is an organ of the female reproductive system which is involved in the production and releasing of an ovum or egg. From the ovaries, the egg is released into the Fallopian tube in the uterus.
Ovulation can be described as the process in which an egg is released from the ovary. It may or may not be fertilized after being released.
Similarities of the ovary and ovulation are that both refer to releasing of the egg.
The answer is D) Humerus. Hope this helps :)
