Answer:
Explanation:
Cell specialization is also called cell differentiation. Through this process, specialized cells form from the unspecialized cells. Then many cells are formed and determined to form specialized functions.
The stem cells are the unspecialized cells which form a different kind of specialized cells.
The muscle cells, nerve cells, sperm cells, red blood cells are specialized cells perform different specialized functions. All these cells arise from stem cells. The nerve cells receive impulse, muscle cells can contract, etc.
There are certain inductive signaling genes that send the signal to the differentiated cells. These signaling molecules are called ligands. These ligands move to another cell to produce specialized cells. In other words, there are some transcription factors and genes responsible for such cell differentiation and the formation of specialized cells.
Another example is zygote, which is an unspecialized cell. This is also a totipotent cell that has the potentiality to reproduce different cells.
In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.
Answer:
most forms of cancer are caused by somatic mutations
Explanation:
The expected phenotypic ratio for a cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for a given trait is 3:1.
<h3>What is Phenotype?</h3>
This is referred to the physical characteristics of an organism such as the size, shape etc.
When two heterozygous traits are crossed:
Rr × Rr ⇒ RR Rr Rr rr
The ratio is therefore 3:1 of the dominant to recessive phenotype.
