A) The WT allele is dominant. B) The mutant allele is dominant. C) The WT and mutant alleles are codominant. D) The WT and mutant alleles show incomplete dominance. E) It is impossible to determine from the information given.

Stress

Stress is defined as the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with emotional or mental pressure. Any event or action that makes a person annoyed, furious, or nervous can trigger it. Chemical changes in the body caused by stress can cause blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and heart rate to rise.
