Glaucoma is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that presence of single copy of the defective gene is enough to cause the disease.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
Gel electrophoresis is the movement of charged particles in a fluid or gel under the influence of an electric field. Results of this technique can be interpreted to find out if someone carries a certain gene or not.
Answer:
Isomerization
Explanation:
In nature, when a carbohydrate has a formula, this formula can be share with different compounds (isomers) because they have the same number of atoms of the same elements, but the arrangement is different.
For example, the formula C6H12O6, is the same for glucose and for fructose, but in living things, when they process these two molecules, they do it with two different metabolic paths. With the specific use of enzymes, the body can separate one from another. In some cases, the mistakes can occur inside a cell process, leading a different metabolic path.
