Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal
Explanation:
Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called
1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)
2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).
However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate
Physician recommends radiation therapy because radiation therapy helps in preventing cellular growth. It uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumor or kill cancer cells. It may be used to cure or to control malignancy when the tumor can no longer be removed or when lymph node involvement is present; also, it can be used prophylactically to prevent spread. Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by damaging their DNA which is the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from generation to generation. Radiation therapy can either damage DNA directly or create charged particles within the cells that can in turn damage the DNA. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stop dividing or die and when these cells die, they are eliminated by the body through natural process.
Answer:
The answer is 25%.
Explanation:
Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.
If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.
Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.
The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.
So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.
