The right answer is B

A radiotracer is an entity composed of a carrier molecule and a detectable radioactive isotope using devices such as gamma cameras or positron emission tomography.

A radiotracer is either a radioactive isotope alone or the combination of a molecule and a radioactive isotope. In this case, it is said that the molecule is labeled by the radioactive isotope.

A radioactive isotope is an atom whose nucleus, unstable, emits radiation. It could be :

- alpha radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons.

- a beta radiation consisting of a negative electron (beta) or a positive electron (beta +, positron).

- a gamma radiation consisting of a high energy photon.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

the separation of one trait does not influence the separation of another trait.

Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of the same trait. For example, brown alleles, green alleles, and blue alleles are different versions of the eye color trait.

All sexually-reproducing organisms possess two alleles for each trait. These alleles may or may not be the same (e.g., an organism may have one allele for brown eyes and one allele for blue eyes, or it may have two alleles for green eyes, etc.).

Gametes, or sex cells (egg cells and sperm cells), are formed during meiosis—a two-step process that only occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms. During meiosis, according to the law of segregation, chromatids that carry alleles are separated into different gametes. According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the separation of the alleles of one trait does not influence the separation of the alleles of another trait.
