Why is retinoblastoma more common in individuals who have inherited the RB deletion and have the genetic predisposition for reti

noblastoma?

kvasek [131]3 years ago

Answer:

Retinoblastoma is more common in people due to the mutation of RB gene in them.

Explanation:

Retinoblastoma is a disease that affects the eyes of an individual. It is more commonly eye cancer which occurs on the retina of the eye. Retinoblastoma mainly affects younger children.

When the RB gene is mutated or it is deleted already on any one of a homologous chromosomes, then only one hit rather that two which is needed to cause the development of retinoblastoma and hence the probability is of retinoblastoma to occur is higher in the individuals who have already inherited the RB deletion and also have a genetic predisposition for the retinoblastoma.

Hay más agua salada o más agua dulce

Más agua salada

Al analizar la superficie del planeta, sencillamente se puede estimar que un 71 % está cubierto de agua, y el restante 29 % es masa continental. Ahora bien, la superficie no equivale a la masa, por lo tanto no podemos afirmar que la Tierra sea un 71 % de agua y el resto de tierra. Debemos ser un poco más específicos.

How do chloroplasts multiply?
lana [24]
<span> They contain their own DNA in the form of a circular plasmid which encodes some - but not all - of the molecules needed for chloroplast function.. It is theorized that this is the DNA from the free-living photosynthetic prokaryote that became an endosymbiont and then an organelle. This theory, The Endosymbiotic Theory, is widely accepted as a plausible explanation for the evolution of organelles. </span>

1. Sugar beets plants start from tiny seeds and grow to be large plants. Where does the bulk of their mass come from? A. nutrien
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1.  B. carbon dioxide taken in from the surrounding air

2. A. Root

Explanation:

Sugar beet plant carries out photosynthesis and stores the excess of the sucrose in its taproots. During the process of photosynthesis, the plant absorbs CO2 from the air, water from the soil and synthesizes organic sugars in the presence of sunlight.

Atmospheric CO2 contributes carbon and oxygen atoms to the formed sugars which in turn are stored in plant parts. Therefore, atmospheric CO2 makes most of the mass of the photosynthesizing plants such as sugar beets. The taproots of beet plants are modified into storage roots to store the excess of the organic sugars.

5. Why does photosynthesis require water? (1 point)
jarptica [38.1K]

During the process of photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water react in the presence of sunlight to form one glucose molecule and six molecules of oxygen. The role of water is to release oxygen (O) from the water molecule into the atmosphere in the form of oxygen gas (O2).
