Answer:

By translocation of chromosome 9 and chromosome 22.

Explanation:

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer, which leads to increased production of immature lymphocytes.

This condition can arise due to translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22. During this, ABL1 gene of chromosome 9 and BCR gene of chromosome 22 fuse together and Philadelphia chromosome.

Fusion gene made from ABL1-BCR represents an oncogene, which codes for a mutated protein. This protein causes impaired DNA binding with uncontrolled cell division that can cause cancer.

Thus, the correct answer is 'translocation.'

List, in order, all the vessels blood must flow through to get from the abdominal aorta into the kidney and back to the inferior
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Kidneys are the important organ of excretion. Human kidneys are bean shaped located below the rib cage. Different vessels are involved in the transportation of blood from the abdominal aorta  and back to the inferior vena cava.

The order of blood vessels are:

The blood enters in the aorta and and moves to the renal artery. Then the blood moves to the interlobar artery via segmental artery. The blood enters in the afferent glomerular arteriole from the arcuate artery and cortical radiate artery. Glomerulus receive the blood from the afferent glomerular arteriole. Then, the blood moves to the efferent glomerular arteriole. The blood then enters in the cortical radiate vein via peritubular capillaries and vasa recta. The blood moves back to the inferior vena cava from the arcuate vein, interlobar vein and renal vein.

Explanation:

However,the repressor would not be able to bind to the operator and switch off transcription.The cell would still be making tryptophan even though it is being supplied by the medium in which it is growing.This is a waste of energy.
