Answer:

derived trait

Explanation:

An ancestral (or primitive) trait/character is a feature inherited from the common ancestor of the species/group of interest, while derived traits are those that were absent in the last common ancestor of the group of interest. For example, considering mammals as the target group, the presence of hair is a shared derived trait relative to other vertebrates, i.e., amphibians, reptiles and birds. However, this trait (hair) is ancestral for humans since the genetically closest species to humans (e.g., chimpanzees), also have hair, and they have inherited this trait from a common ancestor.

How are checkpoints currently behaving in sally cancer cells
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Instable behavior.

Explanation:

The checkpoints currently behaving instable in sally cancer cells because mutants show genetic instability so this instability is the cause of cancer disease. Two checkpoints are sensitive to DNA damage, one occur before mitosis cell division and the other occur before replication of DNA. So damage occur in these two check points leads to instable behavior of cancer cells.
