Mutations can be somatic or inherited. Somatic mutations are mutations that occur in a single body cell, so only tissues derived from mutated cell are affected. Somatic mutations are not inherited. On the other hand, inherited or germline mutations occur in gametes (egg cells and sperm cells) and are passed onto offspring. As a result of these kind of mutations each cell in the organism is affected.

Somatic mutations: BRAF and KRAS gene.

Inherited mutations: FRG2 and BRCA1 gene.

Identify the concentration of gossypol that reduced C.parvum growth to 50% of that in control cells

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

15 μM

Explanation:

From Figure 1 in the diagram showing the graphical representation:

We can see that the concentration of gossypol that reduced C. parvum growth to 50% is approximately 15 μM which lies between half the distance between 10 μM and 20 μM. The tracing is marked out and shown in the diagram attached below.
