Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a genetic disorder associated with the Philadelphia chromosome. The Philadelphia chromosome is

a mutation in chromosome 22. Part of chromosome 22 is exchanged with part of chromosome 9, bringing together two genes on chromosome 22 and causing a malignancy. What type of mutation occurs in the Philadelphia chromosome?
A: duplication
B: Insertion
C.Inversion
D. substitution
E.translocation

Answer:

E.translocation

Explanation:

The chromosomal disorder CML is caused by reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22, in which rearrangement of chromosomes takes place.

Due to this rearrangement, part of chromosome 9 having ABL1 gene gets fused with part of chromosome 22 having BCR gene and resulting chromosome is known as Philadelphia chromosome.

ABL1-BCR fusion gene represents an oncogene that codes for a mutated protein that leads to unregulated cell division and impaired DNA binding and can cause cancer.

What is water’s role in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is - Its electrons are used to form NADPH.

On receiving light energy, electrons are expelled from the reaction center of photosystem II. The expelled electrons finally reduces oxidized NADH⁺ to NADH. The oxidized reaction center of photosystem II split water into protons, electrons and oxygen. The electrons released from water reduces oxidized reaction center of photosystem II. Thus, oxidized reaction center of photosystem II gets back its expelled electrons. Therefore, electrons from water forms NADH.

Answer:

The population varies

Explanation:

The number of the dorminat alleles varies with the genotyoe. In addition, the factors as mutation also contribute to the mutation of the genes. The mutation in the DNA causes a different set of instruction in the DNA. This then affects the gene expression in an organism.
