A mutation is an abnormal change in the DNA within a cell, sometimes resulting in an accelerated pattern of somatic cell division. The acceleration is often caused by an interphase that is much more brief than normal. If left unchecked, a mutation of this sort can result in tumor formation and cancer. Using the knowledge that you gained from this chapter, suggest a method of stopping this type of unregulated cell division.

Skulls of (1) modern gorilla, (2) australopithecus afarensis, (3) homo erectus, (4) homo neanderthalensis, (5) homo sapiens based on the diagram, which of the following best describes ways in which the physical appearance of h. neandertalensis and h. sapiens differ? (2 points)

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.
