Answer:

Chromosomal mutation

Explanation:

Any modification that interferes with the number or structure of chromosomes in a cell is called a chromosomal mutation. Chromosomal mutations can be classified into numerical mutations, where there is change in the number of cell chromosomes, and structural mutations, where there is change in the shape or size of one or more cell chromosomes.

Numerical mutations are further subdivided into aneuploidies and euploidies. In aneuploidies, there is an increase or loss of one or more chromosomes; In euploidies, the increase or loss will be in complete chromosomal batches, also known as genomes.

Answer:

Chromosomal Mutation

Explanation:

The development and function of an organism is in large part controlled by genes. Mutations can lead to changes in the structure of an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its expression. Because a change in the DNA sequence affects all copies of the encoded protein, mutations can be particularly damaging to a cell or organism. In contrast, any alterations in the sequences of RNA or protein molecules that occur during their synthesis are less serious because many copies of each RNA and protein are synthesized.

Geneticists often distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Strictly speaking, the entire set of genes carried by an individual is its genotype, whereas the function and physical appearance of an individual is referred to as its phenotype. However, the two terms commonly are used in a more restricted sense: genotype usually denotes whether an individual carries mutations in a single gene (or a small number of genes), and phenotype denotes the physical and functional consequences of that genotype.

weeeeeb [17]

He needs to be careful to document his sources about the problem of invasive species.

<h3>What is Invasive species?</h3>
  • An introduced organism that overpopulates and damages its new environment is referred to as an invasive species.
  • Even though the majority of introduced species are neutral or helpful to other species, invasive species have a negative impact on habitats and bioregions, harming their ecology, the environment, and/or their economy.
  • Invasive species are one of the largest issues our natural environments have ever faced.
  • Invasive species have the potential to proliferate rapidly in the absence of their natural predators, displacing native species, destroying ecosystems, and incurring high costs.
  • This increase is frequently attributed to growing global trade, manufacturing specialization, and linkages to previously remote areas.
  • Additionally, the extension of existing imported specie's ranges is made possible by climate change.

Oksanka [162]

ANSWER: CANCER DEVELOPMENT

EXPLANATION:

Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are genes that regulates the cell cycle of a cell (i.e the cell division and replication). In other words, TSGs encodes protein that act as control or regulator of cell growth.

However, when there is an alteration in the genetic sequence (mutation) of the TSGs, this make the cell not to respond to cues that had been regulating it growth.

Thus, when cell growth is not regulated, it results to runaway or abnormal cell growth (i.e multiple folds cell division and replication), in other word referred to as “cancer”.

A. What is a chromatid and how does it compare to a chromosome?
sukhopar [10]

A chromosome consists of a single, double-stranded DNA molecule. Chromatids are two molecules of double-stranded DNA joined together in the center by a centromere. Chromosomes have a thin ribbon-like structure. Chromatids have a thin and long fibrous structure.
