a scientist conducted an investigation about the effects of diet on disease resistance in rats and made surprising observations.
the mice with a genetic ear mutation seemed to show similar patterns of resistance compared to mice with normal ears. based on this information, what will most likely occur?
Answer: The scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.
Explanation-
As per the information given in the question, a mice having mutation in ear depicts same pattern of resistance when compared to another mice having normal ears. This indicates that the genes responsible for resistance are not related to genes that result in ear formation.
Therefore, to find out the effect of diet on disease resistance in rats, the scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.
12. In our somatic (body) cells, we have 2N chromosomes, but in our sex cells (sperm & eggs), we have half the number of chromosomes, which is N chromosomes
