In goats, a beard is produced by an autosomal allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. We’ll use the symbol Bb for the beard allele and B for the beardless allele. Another independently assorting autosomal allele that produces a black coat (W) is dominant over the allele for white coat (w). A cross allowed between BBbWw (male) X BBbWw (female). What is proportional of female progeny will beard with black coat?

Cellular senescence may have evolved to protect organisms against cancer. Instead of dividing out of control, the cells die. Cellular senescence appears to be regulated by several tumor suppressor genes, especially p53.what is the most appropriate reason behind this,

1) Transcription factor p53 is thought to suppress tumorigenesis by causing cell arrest and senescence in response to short telomeres, DNA damage, and viral or external signals to divide

2) This factor can stop the cell cycle, cause cellular senescence in rapidly dividing cells, instruct genes to initiate cellular apoptosis, and activate DNA repair enzymes.

3) Induction of apoptosis or cellular senescence by p53 always beneficial.
