Selective adaptation is when we view a stimulus with a specific property, and the neurons tune to that property fire, eventually becoming fatigued.

Neurons tune to a particular attribute fire when we see a stimulus with that property; over time, this firing fatigues the neurons or causes them to adapt. The neuron's firing rate drops due to this adaptation and fires less often when the same stimulus is provided to it again right away.

For instance, a page of plain black text on a white backdrop will undoubtedly capture your attention and make it easier for you to identify important information. However, if you keep viewing pages and pages of mainly neon pink highlights, you'll probably grow accustomed to them, and they will eventually stop drawing your attention.

Abnormal chromosomes are frequently found in malignant tumors. Errors such as translocations may place a gene in close proximity
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

B) expression of inappropriate gene products

Explanation:

Most of the cancers are caused when a normal gene that code for one or other proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle is mutated. The mutated gene may cause the production of the faulty gene products. For example, the overproduction of products of the protooncogene that push cells through the cell cycle leads to tumor formation. Likewise, when the tumor suppressor genes are not able to produce enough product to prevent progression through the cell cycle, cancer may develop.
