Metastasis is the term used to describe the cancer cell's ability to spread to other sites in the body. It is the spread of cancer cells from the place where they first formed to other parts of the body. Cancer cells breaks away from the original tumor, travel through the blood or lymph system, and form a new tumor in other organs or tissues of the body.

The brown-eye allele is dominant over blue-eye allele. A couple currently has 3 children with brown eyes. What is the probabilit
MissTica

Answer:

The correct answer is: 25 %

Explanation:

According to Mandel's law of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele if present together. If a couple has 3 children with brown eyes. In a monohybrid cross, the ideal phenotypic ratio of the offsprings is 3: 1 or in other words, the dominant character chances to appear is 75% in phenotype.

So, by the law of dominance of monohybrid cross the chances of the fourth child to develop blue eyes is 25%.

Thus, the correct answer is : 25 %.

Which option(s) correctly describes chromosomes?
laiz [17]

Answer:In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.
