Answer:

D. a mutation causing uncontrolled cell division

Explanation:

Mutations can be beneficial, neutral or harmful and therefore are not targeted, occurring at random. This means that a change in DNA can provide an improvement in the body, cause no advantage or harm or even trigger problems, as in the case of genetic diseases. Thus, a mutation does not arise to guarantee the evolution of an organism, but is completely random.

Beneficial mutations are those that bring benefits to the body by helping it survive, or by helping with a particular task. We can cite as beneficial mutations:

  • a mutation allowing moths to camouflage better on blackened tree bark
  • a mutation making Staphylococcus aureus resistant to the antibiotic methicillin
  • a mutation inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus from attaching to and entering the cell
  • a mutation giving plant leaves a bitter taste to discourage herbivores from eating them

On the other hand, an evil mutation is one that causes damage to the body, such as a mutation that causes uncontrolled cell division.

A prenatal client with vaginal bleeding is admitted to the labor unit. which signs or symptoms indicate placenta previa? select
adelina 88 [10]
The symptom and sign which indicate placenta previa here is Pinless vaginal bleeding.
Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta is covering the cervix or it is attached close to the cervix.
In various times of pregnancy, bleeding may occur. It can not be a serious complication. The cause of the bleeding may depend on the amount of pain or the time of bleeding in pregnancy.
In the first trimester, bleeding may occur and may be due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, implantation of the placenta in the uterus or infection.
Bleeding in late pregnancy lets say twenty weeks can be due to placenta previa or placental abruption.

The cross of an aa male and Aa female produced an offspring with the genotype AAa. Therefore, the resulting offspring has 3 copi
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the genotype of the male parent is aa, the genotype of the female parent is Aa, and the genotype of the offspring is AAa, showing trisomy characteristics. In the given case, the existence of two A chromosomes shows that the chromosomes non-disjunction at the time of gametogenesis have taken place in the female as she is the only one possessing A allele. Hence, it can be concluded that the disjunction is maternal in characteristic.  

The duplication of chromosomes takes place at the time of the S-phase of meiosis. Thus, after going through S-phase, the karyotype of the cell will be AAaa (maternal gametogenesis), this set of the chromosome is termed as homologous pair, and the pair of AA or aa is termed as sister chromatids.  

The meiotic disjunction takes place in two phases. First, in meiosis I disjunction, in this separation of homologous chromosomes takes place, that is, the maternal cell AAaa get differentiated into aa and AA daughter cells. Secondly, in meiosis II disjunction, the separation of sister chromatids takes place into two independent chromosomes, that is, the formation of two cells each comprising chromosome A from the AA cell and the formation of two cells each with chromosome a from the aa cell.  

Thus, the phenomenon of non-disjunction would have taken place at the time of meiosis II in the case of a female gamete to exhibit two A chromosomes. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Why do you think that individuals whose genotype is heterozygous for the recessive
Travka [436]

Answer:

An individual whose genotype is heterozygous cannot be for the recessive

Explanation:There are two possible genotypes either homozygous dominant or heterozygous dominant. For a charecter there can be two gene .One is recessive and other one is dominant. In presence of the dominant gene the recessive gene of the same character cannot express . IF recessive gene is homozygous then only it will express .Therefore for the individual it is heterozygous for the dominant
