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

E; translocation, which is a chromosomal rearrangement in which a part of genetic material from one chromosome becomes heritably (genetically) tied to another chromosome.*

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.

Why does this recent discovery about the galapagos finches prove that it’s often challenging for scientists to determine when tw
34kurt

Because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have various appearances but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring making it is difficult for scientists to distinguish between two groups of individuals as separate species.

<h3>What is the island of Galápagos?</h3>

The Pacific Ocean island of Galápagos is located to the west of Ecuador. It is a volcanic island known for its diverse and endemic types of living things.

<h3>Why is it difficult to find new species in Finches?</h3>

Charles Darwin spent several years studying the many species of finches on the Galápagos island. He saw a great deal of variation in these finches, which supports the hypothesis of natural selection.

However. it is challenging for scientists to discern between two separate species because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have a variety of features that are different but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring.

choli [55]

Answer: In ecosystems, matter and energy are transferred from one form to another. Matter refers to all of the living and nonliving things in that environment. Nutrients and living matter are passed from producers to consumers, then broken down by decomposers. Decomposers break down dead plant and animal matter.

Licemer1 [7]

The right answer is D.

A gamete is a generally haploid reproductive cell specialized in fertilization, or gamy (that is to say, able to fuse with another gamete, complementary type if necessary), in eukaryotes.

The process that carries out the fusion of two gametes is called fertilization or gamy, it is the complementary event of meiosis. Fertilization produces a new single cell, called a zygote, whose chromosome number has doubled to 2n.
