Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The Ras Proto-Oncogene is a gene found in normal cells, which by the single point mutation mentioned in the question, can turn into Oncogene. Because Proto-Oncogene is a gene that controls and regulates the division of the cell, a mutation in this gene leads to uncontrolled cell divisions which then leads to cancer. The correct answer is D since RAF-Activation describes "Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma, fibrosarcoma being a cancer which affects fibrobalst cells.

I hope this answer helps.

11. Punnett squares can also be used to predict genotypes of the parents. A guinea pig with short hair is crossed
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Ss × ss

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The alleles for short hair (S) is dominant over that of long hair (s).

According to this question, a guinea pig with short hair (S_) is crossed to one that has long hair (ss) to produce offsprings that have 44 short hair and 46 long hair. This number of offsprings produced indicate a ratio of 1:1, which can only be produced if the short haired guinea pig is heterozygous i.e. Ss.

Therefore, the genotype of the parents are Ss (short hair) and ss (long hair) i.e. Ss × ss. This combination will produce offsprings with the following proportion: Ss (1) : ss (1).
