Huntington's disease is a hereditary ailment caused by a recessive gene. if both parents carry the gene but do not have the dise

ase, there is a 0.25 probability that an offspring will fall victim to the condition. a newly wed couple find through genetic testing that they both carry the gene (but do not have the disease). if they intend to have five children, find the probability of each event.

Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.

kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.

Answer:

Written below.

Explanation:

5. During meiosis, a reproductive cell and its nucleus divide twice and produce four cells––two pairs of identical haploid cells.

6. Homologous chromosomes are two pieces of DNA within a diploid organism that carry the same genes, one from each parental source. In simpler terms, both of your parents provide a complete genome. Each parent provides the same 23 chromosomes, which encode the same genes.
