Exposure to the building material asbestos has been linked to certain types of cancers. Asbestos causes mutations in the p53 gene, which controls tumor suppression. Which statement best explains why people with cancer due to asbestos exposure do not pass the mutation on to their offspring? A. The mutation occurred in gametic cells.
B. The mutation occurred in somatic cells.
C. The mutation is recessive
D. The mutation is sex-linked.

B

Explanation:

Somatic cells are skin cells so that means it can’t be passed on to their offspring

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
