Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.

Answer:

Their answer about the location or function of the cells.

Explanation:

Since there are no options to select as the answer, i will just try my best to list a couple of them.

Langerhans Cells are from the family of cells named "Dendritic Cells" because of their tree like shapes. They can be found on parts of our body that come into contact with foreign environments or particles, such as skin, on the inside of our mouth, nose and stomach etc.

The nursing instructor could evaluate the students' knowledge by asking them where Langerhans Cells are located in our body, on which layer of our skin they can be found or what their primary functions are.

I hope this answer helps.
