What is the difference between a benign tumor and a metastatic tumor?

1 answer:

7 0

A benign tumour is generally not dangerous as they grow usually within a membrane in one space. They can however grow really big in a short space of time and can cause pressure on neighbouring blood vessels which can be dangerous.

Metastatic or malignant tumours are dangerous and cancerous. After they grow, some cells break off and travel in the bloodstream to a different area of the body (usually the main organs) and forms a secondary tumour there. This keeps happening until the cancer has spread to all of the body.

Which of the statements does not describe a benefit of genetically modifying organisms for humans?

Mashutka [201]

$\textbf{ \textit{Hello There! I'm here to Help :3}}$

---------------------------------------------------

Answer:

C. bacteria genetically modified to be antibiotic-resistant

Explanation:

Genetically modifying organisms can be either beneficial or harmful for humans. As we can be infected by bacteria, we developed antibiotics to fight those infections, and this saves many lives as it is an efficient medicine. But when a bacteria is genetically modified to be resistant to antibiotics, we can be harmed as we don't have a way to fight the infection and the bacteria will spread (even maybe kill us). Therefore, bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant do not benefit humans, and the correct answer is C. bacteria is genetically modified to be antibiotic resistant.

What does the plant create in order to reproduce offspring?

mamaluj [8]

Plants either reproduce sexually or asexually, depending on the type of plant. In sexual reproduction, two germ cells, or gametes, fuse to create the beginning of a genetically unique offspring. In asexual reproduction, a plant cell splits in two to create a genetically identical offspring.
