Biology

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.'

Answer:

The theory of aging evolution

Explanation:

The theory of aging evolution seeks to investigate the reasons why living beings begin a degeneration process at a certain age, among the various theories proposed is that of <em>Peter Brian Medawar</em> proposed in 1952, who claimed that natural selection avoided these mutations malignant <em>during the reproductive stage</em> to avoid the reduction of the population, however once this stage concluded the selection allowed them to manifest themselves.
