Answer:

This is most likely due to a mutation in a maternal effect gene.

Explanation:

The genes of maternal effect are the result of a special genetic inheritance that is managed by genes present only in the mother's body, of a certain individual. These genes are responsible for determining some specific conditions in the egg, generating some changes in the individual's genotype and phenotype. In summary, these genes are responsible for contributing to the phenotype of an individual directly related to the mother's genotype.

Like any gene, genes of maternal effect can mutate, generating some phenotypic anomalies. An example of this is the existence of two tails in an abnormal embryo of Drosophila.

Explain how dysfunction at one level of organization impacts other levels and provide an example.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of four level of organizations namely: cell, tissue, organs, organ system and ultimately, the organism. These levels of organization are interrelated in such a way that CELLS accumulate to form TISSUE, TISSUES accumulate to form ORGAN, ORGANS accumulate to form ORGAN SYSTEM.

Since one level is dependent on a lower level, a dysfunction in one level will cause the dysfunction of another level. For example, a dysfunction in LIVER CELLS will cause the LIVER TISSUES formed from the cells to be dysfunctional. This dysfunctionality will extend to the LIVER as an organ and cause issues in the EXCRETORY SYSTEM (an organ system that constitutes the liver organ).
