Answer:

Mutation, an alteration in the genetic material (the genome) of a cell of a living organism or of a virus that is more or less permanent and that can be transmitted to the cell’s or the virus’s descendants. The genomes of organisms are all composed of DNA, whereas viral genomes can be of DNA or RNA.

take the test and it's correct

Answer:

Mutations are only passed on to offspring when they occur in germ cell DNA, which are the cells that create sperm or ova. ... The mutation will be inherited only if it occurred on a chromosome in either the sperm cell or the ova cell out of many that eventually unite to form a zygote.

They are present in all body cells and can be passed down to new generations. Acquired mutations occur during an individual's life. If an acquired mutation occurs in an egg or sperm cell, it can be passed down to the individual's offspring. Once an acquired mutation is passed down, it is a hereditary mutation

What do you notice is the main difference between the structure of the connective tissues and the structure of the epithelium? m
AVprozaik [17]

Epithelial tissue lines the cavities and surfaces of organs and blood arteries throughout the animal body, whereas connective tissue supports, links, and divides many types of tissues and organs in the body. This is the main distinction between epithelial and connective tissue.

Cell arrangement: The physical properties of the Epithelial tissue affect how the connective tissue is organized. There are different arrangements of epithelial cells, such as squamous, cuboidal, and columnar, that organize as simple, stratified, pseudostratified, and transitional. Since epithelial cells form from ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, this explains why epithelia line body cavities. Dense irregular connecting tissue is made up of messily organized tightly packed collagen bundles.

Consider a cross between a man with an X-linked recessive disorder and a woman that's a carrier for the disorder. Approximately
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the X linked allele "a" gives the disorder. Therefore, the genotype of the affected man would be X^aY while the genotype of the carrier woman would be X^aX. A cross between X^aY man and X^aX woman would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio: 1 affected daughter: 1 affected son: 1 normal but carrier daughter: 1 normal son.

Therefore, there are 50% chances that their children can express the disorder.
