Being an extremely unhealthy academic, Mike is a shut-in and works by only candle light, which he never puts out. He hasn't seen

the sun nor spoken face-to-face with anyone in years. However, he still sleeps and wakes up roughly at the same time as normal people because he is a very special lad. How is he still able to maintain this sleep schedule?
Answer choices:
He has a hereditary condition that confers unnaturally precise CLOCK gene expression.


He has a hereditary condition that confers unnaturally precise PER gene expression


His CLOCK genes last 16 hours and turn off for 8 hours


Mike's CLOCK expression is harder to suppress


The candle is always alight, entraining his SCN

Mike is able to maintain this sleep schedule because  He has a hereditary condition that confers unnaturally precise CLOCK gene expression (Option A).

<h3>What is an adaptation?</h3>

Adaptations are phenotypic features that naturally appear in a population as a consequence of genetic variation which are expressed to determine the level of the trait.

In this case, it is expected that Mike exhibit certain genetic features associated with his circadian rhythm.

In conclusion, Mike is able to maintain this sleep schedule because  He has a hereditary condition that confers unnaturally precise CLOCK gene expression (Option A).

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _______, or programmed cell death.
laila [671]

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _apoptosis______, or programmed cell death.

Apoptosis is synonymous to programmed cell death

Explanation:

Programed cells death of the cell is required to maintain proper tissue homeostasis. Examples of when apoptosis is necessary are when a cell may have errors in its DNA replication process. Apoptosis ensures the cell does not continue dividing and generating cells with the error. Other forms of damage to a cell that is hard to repair  also require that the cell undergo apoptosis.

In cancer cells, apoptosis pathway faulted and even when cells are required to undergo programmed cell death, such as in the case when lethal mutations occur, the cell continues to divide creating many cells that have the defect. This is what creates cancer tumors,
