Answer:
A. Heritable
C. Affected by the MC1R gene
D. Polygenic trait
Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.
Explanation:
Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.
The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population
Answer:
The correct answer is B make cells produce a functional CFTR protein.
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is caused due to the mutation in the transmembrane protein known as cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator or CFTR. Cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator proteins helps in the formation of thin mucus and due to the mutation in CFTR the mucus becomes thick.The disease cystic fibrosis basically affect the respiratory system.
If gene therapy is used to treat cystic fibrosis then it can replace the mutated CFTR gene with a functional one so that the cell containing CFTR gene can produce functional CFTR protein.
