By altering the function of regulatory genes virus can risk cancer.

Certain infectious agents, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites, can increase the risk of cancer . In order to reproduce and make more viruses, a virus must enter a living cell and take over the cell's machinery. Some viruses accomplish this by embedding their own DNA (or RNA) into the host cell's. So when DNA or RNA impacts the genes of the host cell, it can cause the cell to become cancerous.

Most viruses only affect specific cells in the body, such as cold virus viruses that affect the nose and throat lining. That is why certain viruses are just associated with specific types of cancer.

Describe one way in which titchener's ideas of structuralism and james' emphasis on functionalism differ
Yakvenalex [24]
In 1879, psychology began as a science of its own in Germany with the formation of Wundt’s psychology laboratory. He industrialized the technique of objective introspection. Titchener, a pupil of Wundt, brought psychology in the form of structuralism to America. Structuralism died out in the early twentieth century. William James suggested a countering point of view called functionalism, which stressed the way the mind permits us to familiarize. While, functionalism influenced the contemporary fields of educational psychology, evolutionary psychology, and industrial/organizational psychology.

Answer the following
Ivahew [28]

First of all, a <em>supply curve</em> is a chart in Economy that shows us the relation between Price and Quantity of a certain good or service. Several factors may cause this curve to shift to the left or right, e.g.: An increase of customers' purchase power, the decrease of the need for a certain product by the population, and so on...

a. Resource prices rise is another example, and would cause the supply curve to shift to the left. As with it, the final price of the products that depend on this given resource for their production, would rise, hence causing their buyers to purchase fewer quantities of them.

b. If a quota is placed on a good, it would also cause this good's final price to rise, hence causing the consumers to buy less, hence shifting the curve to the left as well.

<em>Note: </em>Of course, these are assuming that the goods in question are <em>non-essential </em>goods. That is, people may choose to buy less of them. In case of essential goods (like toilet paper, or electric power for example), people would still consume it regardless of changes in price! And in that case, the curve would stay still, or even shift slightly to the right, upon a price rise.
