Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago
6 0
<span>Chromosomes, especially homologous chromosomes exchange genetic materials through translocation of their parts in a process called crossing over. If the exchange between the chromosomes is balanced and  preserves the proper complement of genetic material,  then the chances of the probability of mutation are low. However, if this translocation is uneven and disrupts the regulation of genes (such as activate an oncogene or inhibit a tumor suppressor gene probably due to multiple fusions at a single locus) then the chances of cancer are high. </span>

Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge
rodikova [14]

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.
