Classify the mutations as somatic or inherited

Biology
1 answer:
Sergio [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Somatic mutations : option (A) and option (D).

Inherited mutations : option (B) and option (C).

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the genetic material due to alterations in DNA sequence. Mutations may be somatic or inherited (or germline).

Somatic mutations are those mutations that arise in somatic or normal body cells and cannot transfer from parents to their offspring. As skins cells and lung cells are somatic cells, option (A) and (D) represent somatic mutations.

Inherited mutations are those mutations that arise in sex cells (gamete forming cell) and transfer from parents to their offspring due to transfer as these cells form mutated gametes. As egg cells and sperms cells are sex cells, option (B) and (C) represent inherited mutations.

Together the insulin and glucagon help maintain a state is known as homeostasis in which conditions inside the body remain steady.

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis refers to the mechanism of the body to maintain a stable internal environment instead of changes taking place in the external environment.

When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas secretes more insulin. When blood sugar levels drop, the pancreas releases glucagon to raise them.

Which of the following is true of retroviruses? (3 points)
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host’s genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell’s DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retroviridae. A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses, which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations. Endogenous retroviruses are a type of transposon.
