In the development of a cancer cell, the formation of new blood vessels is called Angiogenesis, option B. When tumors are present in the body, circulation and the distribution of nutrients in the body is altered; thus, resulting in different kinds of disorders associated with cancer.

When blood glucose levels decrease, in between meals, during fasting or from starvation, increased levels of ________ help to in
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

B. Glucagon

Explanation:

Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.

Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:

- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.  

- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.

- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.

svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is B: The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Diploid cell have two of each chromosome, one from each parent. When diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (when haploid cell undergoes mitosis the result is haploid cell). This means that during the mitosis, cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves.

Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic
lorasvet [3.4K]
Some scientists hypothesize that the eukaryotic cells are really the result of symbiotic processes!

Specifically, the internal organs of the cells could be a remnant of a symbiotic relationship in which one cell lived inside of another cell. These two cells then both split upon reproduction and eventually the cell inside was reduced to an organelle.

But according to this theory, it is very likely that the prokaryotic cells engaged in a number of symbiotic relationship, and that this actually lead to the emergence of eukaryotic cells!
