What best describes the difference between paracentric and pericentric inversion?

a. the number of genes inverted
b.the number of centromeres inverted
c.the placement of centromeres in the inversions
d.if the inversion is on autosomal of sex chromosomes

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Paracentric and Pericentric Inversions both are terms used to describe the action of inversing a part of the chromosome. But the main difference between the paracentric and pericentric inversions is that pericentric inversion, unlike the paracentric inversion, does include the centromere in the inversion process. So the answer is B, which is zero for paracentric inversion.

I hope this answer helps.

1. Leukemia is a cancer of white blood cells and it can be categorized as an excess of white blood cells in the bone marrow.

2. Typically, the standard life expectancy is 5 years in younger patients who are older than those who are older. However, it should be noted that life expectancy will vary depending on the patient’s state of health, mental state, as well as the patient’s support and lifestyle.

Explanation:

1. Leukemia is a cancer of white blood cells and it can be categorized as an excess of white blood cells in the bone marrow. White blood cells are produced naturally. For Leukemia patients, the process of production of white blood cells is disrupted. Cells do not mature and continue to divide and multiply.

2. In diagnosing cancer, there are usually four stages that doctors use to describe the severity and spread of cancer cells. Levels start from levels 0-4. In stage 2, this means the cancer cells have grown, but have not spread throughout the body. Leukemia in stage 2, is usually marked by an increase in the number of abnormal white blood cells and at the same time swelling in some areas (such as the liver, spleen, or lymph nodes). The hope of a cure depends on the type of leukemia that strikes the patient. Typically, the standard life expectancy is 5 years in younger patients who are older than those who are older. However, it should be noted that life expectancy will vary depending on the patient’s state of health, mental state, as well as the patient’s support and lifestyle.
