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.

Which allele for human blood type is recessive?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Blood type doesn't fall into the category of dominant/recessive genes exactly; rather it combines this with the properties of incomplete dominance. Ignoring the Rh factor, there are 3 alleles for blood type, I^a,I^b, and i. You will be type A if you have I^a I^a or I^a i and type B if you have I^b I^b or I^b i. You can also get type AB by having the combination I^a I^b or be type O if you have i i. If you need to use dominant/recessive, you can say the A and B allele are dominant over the O allele and codominant with one another.

Reil [10]
If a woman takes HIV medicines during pregnancy and childbirth and her baby receives HIV medicines for 4 to 6 weeks after birth, the risk of transmitting HIV can be lowered to 2% or less. Most HIV medicines are safe to use during pregnancy, and don't increase the risk of birth defects.

In general, the infected mother should simply stay healthy and intake HIV medicines while she is pregnant.

A tree that has leaves that are shaped to help water drip off them would most likely live where?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The correct answer is tropical rain forests.

Explanation:

The hot and moist biome witnessed close to the equator of the Earth is the tropical rainforest. The largest tropical rainforests in the world are found in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. About 60 to 160 inches of rainfall is witnessed in the tropical rainforests throughout the year. Due to this, the leaves of the trees found in the tropical rainforests possess unique features that help them to survive.  

The leaves of the trees found in the tropical rainforest possess drip tips that help them to cope with the extreme amount of rainfall that takes place throughout the year. The drip tips help the drop of rains to run off briskly from the surface of the leaves. This adaptation helps the plants in the region to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus.
