The fertilized cell that results is referred to as a zygote. A zygote is diploid cell, which means that it has twice the number of chromosomes as a gamete
The instructions on a chromosome are called-DNA

Answer:
A Mutation is when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in a way that changes the genetic message carried by that gene.
Explanation:Mutations are sometimes good and sometimes bad it can also cause genetic variation which increases the survival of a species
Answer:
<u>3) Uncontrolled cell division occurred as a result of gene mutations</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Spontaneous modifications within the genome may occur during the process of cell division. When copies of the DNA inside the cell are made, these mutations cause errors; and can include small single nucleotide polymorphisms, and large scale additions or deletions across multiple genes.
Some, like somatic mutations, exist only inside vegetative (body) cells, that cannot be passed onto offspring. This is caused by several factors like
- UV radiation,
- chemical mutagens,
- infective agents
UV radiation damages strands of DNA, by causing dimers to form; here, consecutive nucleotide bases covalently bond instead of those on the complementary strand. This conformational change causes errors in DNA proofreading and repair mechanisms where bases are not well-incorporated into the strand- tumors (clumps of uncontrolled cell growth) may form, resulting in melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
Answer is Nucleic Acid
Reasoning - Because phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous make up the Acid !!! lol RNA is synthesis of protein. DNA is the control of genetics which is obvious.
