s D. Same genes

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes do not necessarily have to have exactly the same type of alleles.

<em>Homologous chromosomes consist of a pair of chromatids with the same length, centromere position, and more or less the same gene. However, the gene can have the same or different alleles, meaning that the genes can be expressed differently in individuals. Dominant alleles are usually expressed while recessive alleles remain in the background. </em>

The correct option is, therefore, C.

The best description of the events occurring during Ana-phase I of meiosis:

c. Homologous chromosomes randomly separate and migrate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Meiosis:

It is such type of cell division that occur in animals, plants resulting in four daughter cells and each of daughter cell have the half number of chromosomes from the parent cell.

  • Anaphase is one of important phases of meiosis. The option a is incorrect as chromosomes go randomly to opposite poles.
  • The option b is incorrect as all of chromosomes inherited from mother and father goes randomly to opposite poles.
  • The option c is correct as it is the true description of anaphase I of meiosis.

Prior to the advent of multiplex genetic testing, a person would have been most likely to have a genetic test to determine if th
Sloan [31]

Answer: Colon cancer

Explanation:

All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.

Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.
