Answer/Explanation:
EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor. It is a transmembrane protein acting as a tyrosine kinase receptor for epidermal growth factor ligands, which are associated with promoting cell division and proliferation. When epidermal growth factor binds to the receptor, it becomes activated and undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation.
A mutation could occur making the receptor overactive. That is, it does not require ligand binding to become activated, meaning it is always in an "on" state. This would lead to uncontrolled proliferation, a hallmark of cancer.
Destruction of myelin will affect the nerve and there will be the less conduction of electrical impulses from the brain to other parts of the body and the nerve signal sent to the brain are delayed. These damaged nerve areas form sclerosis which disrupts the signalling capacity of the nerve. This may occur due to genetic defects, infectious agents, auto immune reactions and trauma.
The offspring that can be described by the genotype is
Gg while for the phenotype is
green pod color
The cross between GG and gg give a heterozygous offspring that Gg offspring. The offspring are have a green pod color since the green pod color is dominant over yellow pod color and therefore the offspring have a green pod color. The cross is as the punnet square below.
Eutrophication results in the death of trout and other fish as a result of asphyxiation from the lack of oxygen. Eutrophication involves the enrichment of water by nutrients salts such as phosphates, nitrates among others, that causes structural changes of the aquatic ecosystem such as; increased production of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species, deterioration of water quality and other effects that impact negatively the aquatic ecosystem.
