Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Radiation exposure can cause the rearrangement of base pairs and resultant mutation. Endonucleases facilitate gene repair, and base pairs are not noted to swap positions from their respective sides of the helical strand. Redundant or degenerate genetic code is a normal trait.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The autosomal dominant disorder of Marfan syndrome is primarily manifested in the ocular, cardiovascular, and skeletal systems. These assessments would take priority over renal assessment.
