I believe the answer is metabolism...
The right answer is B and C.
For proposal C, I will give you an example, that of an autosomal recessive disease. If a parent is heterozygous for an allele causing an autosomal recessive disease (due to a mutation), it may be that it transmits the allele to its descendence, as it may not be able to transmit it (since in one heterozygous subject, not all of its gametes carry the mutated allele) and thus the mutation will no longer be copied through the generaitons.
Each individual is genetically unique. Its genes are distributed along chromosomes contained in the nucleus. Mutations can lead to the appearance of different versions of genes: alleles. A diploid individual has two copies of each gene, which may be identical or different alleles. Mixing during sexual reproduction partly explains the genetic diversity of individuals.
Answer:
Totipotential.
Explanation:
There are different cell potencies. A <u>totipotent</u> cell is a stem cell that can divide itself and <u>differentiate in any cell </u>that the organism needs. That is to say, endodermal cells, ectodermal cells, mesodermal cells, or extra-embryonic tissues. As cells differentiate themselves, they can gradually lose their potential. The cell's category that follows is pluripotent cells. These are stem cells that can only differentiate into ectoderm cells, endoderm cells, or mesoderm cells. Then we have multipotent cells, which differentiate into tissue cells. The next category is oligopotent cells. They give a limited number of specific cells, and lastly unipotent cells, only differentiate in one type of cell.
