a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.
b. different genes of the seed shape locus.
c. different genotypes of the seed shape character.
d. different loci of the seed shape gene.

Answer:

a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.

Explanation:

Mendel crossed different varieties of pea plants and he observed how phenotypic traits passed to the progeny. From these experiments, Mendel formulated the 'First Law of Segregation', where he observed that traits may exist in pairs that segregate (separate) at meiosis. During meiosis, i.e., gamete formation, these two factors separate from each other, thereby each gamete has the same probability of receiving either factor. Nowadays, we know that these two factors represent two different gene variants or 'alleles' for a given gene <em>locus</em>. Alleles can be classified into dominant or recessive as in the example above described, where the R factor (round) dominates on the r factor (wrinkled) to determine the seed shape.

How do radiation and chemotherapy affect cancer cells?
elixir [45]

Answer:

They destroy the DNA or RNA

Explanation:

Cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA. The faster the cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce apoptosis. Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiations also induce apoptosis. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stops dividing and die. The damaged cells die, they are broken down and removed by the body.
