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.

Give 2 reasons for why meiosis is important for sexual reproduction
Olenka [21]

Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.

Historical path leading to the widespread adoption of sugar cultivation in americas:
kati45 [8]
The first historical record associates the beginning of sugar in the Americas with Christopher Columbus' initial and epic voyage of the discovery of the New World in 1492.

The sugar cane plant is native to Southeast Asia and in Europe had already created an appetite for more through the Eastern trade routes. These were of course difficult routes that included trade caravans over land and water to reach Asia from Europe.

With Columbus the initial planting of sugar cane occurred in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean islands maintain a perfect tropical climate for the plant and as such, flourished. Other colonizers, like the British, Portuguese and French soon followed suit within their own colonies spread throughout the New World. 

The Portuguese had transplanted or moved some of the seedlings, or small plants from the Dominican into Brazil and other areas of their colonized lands. In fact, Brazil is the largest producer of sugar cane in the world today.

The desire for more sugar during this early settlement, led to a "triangle of trade". In order to satisfy the need for production of sugar, ships sailed to the western coasts of Africa to bring slaves to work the sugar plantations. After depositing the slaves, the ships would pick up sugar and rum, an alcohol created from sugar, and bring these goods back to the European powers. This completed the cycle for the ships, which would then return to Africa to gather more slaves.

By 1505, this trade route was set up and going strong. And for the next 300 years or so, would remain in effect.

Describe the three stages of cellular respiration and identify the part of the cell in which cach
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: 3 stages- glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. In glycolysis, the beginning process of all types of cellular respiration, two molecules of ATP are used to attach 2 phosphate groups to a glucose molecule, which is broken down into 2 separate 3-carbon PGAL molecules. PGAL releases electrons and hydrogen ions to the electron carrier molecule NADP+.  A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and released as carbon dioxide. The two-carbon molecule from the first step is oxidized, and NAD+ accepts the electrons to form NADH. The oxidized two-carbon molecule, an acetyl group, is attached to Coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA.  The citric acid cycle, where acetyl CoA is modified in the mitochondria to produce energy precursors in preparation for the next step. Oxidative phosphorylation, the process where electron transport from the energy precursors from the citric acid cycle (step 3) leads to the phosphorylation of ADP, producing ATP.  The space between the inner and outer membrane is called the intermembrane space. The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the matrix. The second stage of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle, takes place in the matrix. The third stage, electron transport, takes place on the inner membrane.
