Question

Effect of today's radioactive fall out will be more on future children than on present-day children as

• A. Radiations have delayed effect
• B. Mutated genes are usually recessive
• C. Infant susceptibility to radiations
• D. Increase ofsusceptibility to radiations with age

Answer 1

The correct option is B Mutated genes are usually recessive

The ionising radiations from the radioactive materials results in causing mutations in the children. The children which are born toady may not suffer from the disorder. But when the children are born in the future generations due to the passing of the mutations from the parents in the recessive forms, the disorder will be expressed. The mutations which are caused by the radiations are generally recessive and expressed when both the genes are in the recessive form.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
