Explanation:
B) False
Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer
Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.
Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.
Further Explanation:
During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:
- somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
- hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer:

Explanation:
- <u>A Lake Is -Not- A Biome</u>
<u></u>
Biomes: T<u>emperate Deciduous Forest, Coniferous Forest, Woodland, Chaparral, Tundra, Grassland, Desert, Tropical Savanna</u>
<u />
A lake is not a biome. A lake can be found in a biome, but a lake is not itself a biome. A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. Yes, similar species can be found living in a lake, but a lake can be found in a particular biome where there are lots more of the same species.
- Mordancy
The 3rd one I think not really sure
True, DNA is DNA, it matters not wether or not it belongs to a plant, you could mix a carrot with a pig (not sure why you would, but you can)
Answer:
C. His mother carried at least one allele for that trait
Explanation:
-Men have a single allele of each gene on the X chromosome, inherited from their mother, and a single allele of each gene on the Y chromosome, from their father.
-A sex-linked trait is a trait that is controlled by a gene or an allele located on the sex chromosome.
-X-linked traits are maternally inherited from carrier mothers or from an affected father. Each son born to a carrier mother has a 50% probability of inheriting the X-chromosome carrying the mutant allele.
