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.

If a researcher has a DNA sample with a concentration of 0.6 micrograms per microliter, how many microliters of DNA must be tran
Art [367]

Answer:

0.325 microliters

Explanation:

1 microgram = 1000 nanograms

DNA sample concentration= 1000 X 0.6 = 600 nanograms / microliters

We need a total of 50 microliter reactions, and the concentration should be 3.9 nanograms per microliter.

So, we need total 50 X 3.9 = 195 nanograms in 50 microliters.

Therefore, it required 195 / 600 = 0.325 microliters of DNA sample to be transferred.
