Question
Both genes and environmental factors contribute to cancer. Prostate
cancer is 39 times more common among people from Utah than among
people from Shanghai (see Table 23.2). Briefly outline how you might
determine whether these differences in the incidence of prostate cancer
are due to differences in the genetic makeup of the two populations or to
differences in their environments.

- give answer asap please.arrow_forwardI am having trouble solving this problem sets about sex-linked inheritance. Hemophilia is a recessive X linked genetic disorder (refer to BIOL 40 B), a medical condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury. The condition is typically caused by a hereditary lack of a coagulation factor, most often factor VIII or factor IX (refer to Bio 40 B Textbook chapter 19 on Blood). Based on a recent study that used data collected on patients receiving care in federally funded hemophilia treatment centers during the period 2012-2018, as many as 33,000 males in the United States are living with the disorder. Males inherit the X chromosome from their mothers and the Y chromosome from their fathers. Females inherit one X chromosome from each parent. Thus, males can have a disease like hemophilia if they inherit an affected X chromosome that has a mutation in either the factor VIII or factor IX gene. Females can…arrow_forwardEdio | Calendar X Edio | Student Da x days/1089977/lessons/1533969/variants/2439102/take/10/ A Q TEXT ANSWER The inheritance patterns for some traits in guinea pigs are listed in the table below. 1.
