Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a genetic disorder associated with the Philadelphia chromosome. The Philadelphia chromosome is

a mutation in chromosome 22. Part of chromosome 22 is exchanged with part of chromosome 9, bringing together two genes on chromosome 22 and causing a malignancy. What type of mutation occurs in the Philadelphia chromosome?

The mutation in Philadelphia chromosome is a translocation, identified as, t(9;22)(q34;q11). This abnormal chromosome has a fusion gene, consisting of the ABL gene and the BCR gene, producing the BCR-ABL oncogene. This oncogene produces an enzyme that has a constitutive, abnormal tyrosine kinase activity. The existence of this fusion gene is necessary and sufficient for the generation of leukemia.

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.

When early systematists distinguished Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) from Osteichthyes (bony fish), it was not clear exactl
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The Chondrichthyes is a class that comprises the cartilaginous fishes such as batoids, ratfish, sharks and others, The Chondrichthyes and the Osteichthyes also known as bony fish were distinguished in early classification but it was not clear at that time when bony skeletons appeared in the vertebrates.

Traces of bone tissues that are found in fossil and living Chondrichthyes are suggested that these cartilaginous fishes derived after the origin of the bony skeleton in vertebrates.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

______________ sources of water pollution are relatively easy to monitor and regulate while __________ sources of water pollutio
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:C. Point, nonpoint

Explanation:

Point source of water pollution originate from a single source and the source of origin can be determined. Industrial and sewage drainage systems are the examples of point source pollutants. The source of pollutant is easy to detect and monitor.

Non-point source of water pollution the source of pollution remains undetermined. The pollutants may enter in water body through multiple sources. Hence, it is difficult to track back the source of single pollutant. Thus non-point source pollution cannot be clean and monitored.

<h2>Mutation & genetic drift</h2>

Explanation:

  • A mutation is characterized as a lasting change to the DNA succession in a quality. This change moves the hereditary message conveyed by the quality and can modify the amino corrosive arrangement of the protein the quality encodes. This implies future cells created by the quality will just convey a specific characteristic.  
  • Genetic Drift is the change in the hereditary structure of a populace after some time because of possibility or irregular occasions. In instances of hereditary float, for example, catastrophic events or periods of irregular climate, the age that makes due to repeat won't really be the fittest, yet the most fortunate. Hereditary float doesn't allude to a particular change in hereditary cells, rather to arbitrary events that impact a population's genetic makeup.
  • Hence, the right answer of the fill up the blank is "mutation and genetic drift".
