Answer:

d. Digital rectal examination and PSA testing have been proven ineffective.

Explanation:

The prostate is a small gland in the male reproductive system and is usually the shape and size of a walnut. Current methods to determine if a prostate has become cancerous include a physical exam (known as a digital rectal exam or DRE), magnetic resonance imaging, a biopsy, or tests to determine prostate-specific chemical antigen (PSA) levels in the blood.

Prostate cancer is considered a cancer of the elderly, since most cases are registered in men over 60 years. The most effective techniques for screening for this cancer are annual screening exams - which include the blood-drawn PSA test and digital rectal touch - are recommended for all men aged 50 and over.

Which progeny among generation iii are showing recombination between rflp1 and dominant disease locus?
Sergio039 [100]
RFLP = Restriction fragment length polymorphismWe can say that an individual has a recombination when we see that in RFLP there are two bands. One in normal migration, and one in the pathologic migration.In generation III we can see it in individual 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10. Any modification of the DNA sequences (mutation, addition, deletion) frequently rearranges the restriction sites. During the action of restriction enzymes, the size of the restriction fragments is then modified, and the fragments are then separated differently according to their size by electrophoresis: a polymorphism is observed.
