Biology
2 answers:
Ivahew [28]4 years ago

Mitosis is closely controlled by the genes inside every cell. Sometimes this control can go wrong.

If that happens in just a single cell, it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. These are cancer cells.

They continue to replicate rapidly without the control systems that normal cells have.

Cancer cells will form lumps, or tumours, that damage the surrounding tissues. Sometimes, cancer cells break off from the original tumour and spread in the blood to other parts of the body.

When a tumour spreads to another part of the body it is said to have metastasised.

They continue to replicate and make more tumours. These are called secondary tumours.

So the answer should be A.) mitosis

What does the age at diagnosis tell you about the mutation?
Vladimir [108]
The graph shows the ages of the women who have breast cancer, which range from ages 40 to 50. So it shows that this type of disease is most commonly diagnosed in women of these ages. Apparently, women are more prone to getting breast cancer the older they are. This is because as you get older, you lose some of your strength to fight these carcinomas so the risk of mutation grows higher as well. 
Hope this helps!

Why is carbon considered tetravalent?
USPshnik [31]
All what the word tetravalent means is that carbon can form 4 chemical bonds, due to the fact that carbon has 4 unpaired valence electrons in its furthest shell, which can be used to bond to other atoms, to form linear and cyclic structures in organic compounds.

Tetravalent also tells us indirectly what the molecular geometry of the atom would be if bonded to those number of bonds, if 4, then it would be tetrahedral and have bond angles of 109.5.
