Cancer cells can arise in a variety of ways, the most common, however, tends to be genetic mutations.
Genetic mutations can occur during the life of a cell due to outside factors such as:
- The <u>food </u>we eat
- The <u>environment </u>we expose the cell to
- The <u>substances </u>that touch the cell (e.g skin cells)
That being said, the most common time for a genetic mutation to take place is during cellular division. During this time the DNA that encodes the cells is duplicated. Genetic mutations in this DNA sometimes cause the elimination of <u>programmed cell death</u>.
<u>Programmed cell death </u>is what tells a cell when it should stop growing and dividing. This is a <u>regulatory function </u>designed to keep the number of cells at a balance, growing only when needed. As this cell multiplies, this produces an increasing number of cells that will not die. The <u>accumulation </u>of these cells is referred to as cancer.

The answer is A) An inner skeleton made of bone or cartilage. Vertebrates have a column of bones that supports the body and protects the spinal cord, while invertebrates are animals that either have a soft body or a hard outer casing covering their body.
ANSWER:
When a habitat is destroyed, the carrying capacity for indigenous plants, animals, and other organisms is reduced so that populations decline, sometimes up to the level of extinction. Habitat loss is perhaps the greatest threat to organisms and biodiversity.
Answer: Very unlikely
Explanation:
Generally, point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation, so
before any changes occur in the amino acid sequence, it would have been corrected.
However, when point mutation occurs within the protein coding region of a gene it may results in the change of a single nucleotide to cause the substitution of a different amino acid (which renders the protein non-functional) as in the case of sickle-cell disease.
And this kind of point mutation is specifically called Missense mutation.
Above all, because point mutation is easily reversible, it is very unlikely to change the amino acid sequence of a protein
These 3 things occur on the plate boundaries (area between plates).
