Question

PLS ANSWER

Which of the following is most likely to cause an inheritance genetic disorder?

A. Somatic cells are produced with a missing or incorrect sequence in a part of a gene that produces a single amino acid

• B. Gametes are produced with a missing or incorrect sequence in a part of a gene that produces a single amino acid

C. Somatic cells are produced with a missing or incorrect sequence in a part of a gene that controls the activation of other gene sequences

D. Gametes are produced with missing or incorrect sequences in the part of a gene that controls the activation of other genes

Answer 1

Answer: I think it would be C and/ or D cuz if there's a gene that connects to other genes and isn't working ALOT could go wrong and the kid could be messed up.

Answer 2

Option B, gametes are produced with a missing or incorrect sequence in a part of a gene that produces a single amino acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Somatic mutations don't cause any genetic disorders due to the mutations happening to cells that aren't the sperm or the egg. Therefore, you can eliminate A and C.

Most mutations stem from the problem of DNA replication, where a codon is erroneously copied during the process of duplicating DNA. However, that does not lead to the deactivation of other genes.

Option B is correct.
