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.'

Which statement best explains how the genetic code is universal? * The shape of a DNA molecule is the same in different species.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in different species

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information in DNA (genetic material). The manner through which information in the genes are encoded is the GENETIC CODE. The genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in living organisms. The genetic code has several characteristics, which includes that the GENETIC CODE IS UNIVERSAL

The genetic code is said to be universal because all known living organisms use the same genetic code to encode their genetic information. This means that a DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in several different species. For example, codon AUG encodes the amino acid METHIONINE in every living organism.
