The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).
New cells are typically produced during cell division. Cell division is a complex process that is regulated and checked at many points. Due to varying factors, the cell regulation mechanism may become non functional and this usually result in abnormal cell growth and division.
An abnormal cell growth may be cancerous or non cancerous. The best thing to do when one notices an abnormal growth in his body is to go and see the doctor. The doctors will administer appropriate test in order to determine the type of tumor that is present. If the tumor is non cancerous it will be removed by minor surgery. In case the tumor is cancerous, appropriate treatments will depending on the part of the body where it is found, the stage of growth and nature of the cancerous cells.
Answer:
En biología celular, el núcleo (pl. Núcleos; del latín nucleus o nuculeus, que significa núcleo o semilla) es un orgánulo unido a la membrana que se encuentra en las células eucariotas.
Explanation:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
- So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.
Hemophilia is considered a sex-linked recessive disorder which means the disease does not occur if only one gene in a pair is abnormal.
Inheritance pattern of the offspring of a father who has hemophilia and a mother who does not have hemophilia and is not a carrier:
- all sons will be born normal
- all daughters will be carriers
Inheritance pattern of the offspring of a father who has hemophilia and a mother who is a carrier:
- 25% chance of having a hemophiliac son
- 25% chance of having a son with no hemophilia
- 25% chance of having a daughter who is a carrier
- 25% chance of having a hemophiliac daughter
