Some strains of cancer cells are used quite often in laboratories because they are considered immortal. What unique features of

cancer cells make them immortal? A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely B. Cancer cells do not require access to nutrients or oxygen, so they can grow indefinitely C. They are resistant to mutation and therefore never die D. They are anchorage independent and never need a surface to grow on E. The DNA in cancer cell is not assembled in chromosomes and has no telomeres, which are used as a measure of the "life time" of a cell, so it will never age and divide indefinitely

Answer:

A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely.

Explanation:

Unlike normal cells, telomeres shorten in every cell division until eventually they become too short to protect the chromosomes and the cell dies. Cancer cells reverse the telomeres shortening, and instead, they  lengthen  them, thus they become inmortal.

butalik [34]

Ocean currents can be found both on the ocean surface and in deep water below 300 meters (984 feet). Surface currents are driven mainly by wind, but sometimes they can be driven by other things such as the movement of animals ect. While the Deep current are while the deep ocean currents are driven by density and temperature gradients. Thermohaline circulation is also known as the ocean's conveyor belt (which refers to deep ocean density-driven ocean basin currents). These currents, called submarine rivers, flow under the surface of the ocean and are hidden from immediate detection.

Maru [420]

Answer:

La fotosíntesis es el proceso en el cual la energía de la luz se convierte en energía química en forma de azúcares. En un proceso impulsado por la energía de la luz, se crean moléculas de glucosa (y otros azúcares) a partir de agua y dióxido de carbono, mientras que se libera oxígeno como subproducto.

Cytokinesis
Alborosie

Answer:

Option (a), (b), (c) and (d).

Explanation:

Cytokinesis may be defined as the process by which the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into the two daughter cell. This process is quite similar to the process of binary fission of prokaryotes.

The cytokinesis follows after the telophase stage. The cytoplasm with the organelles are divided into the daughter cells from the parent cell. This process is proceeded with the formation of the cleavge furrow in the animals ans divides into daughter cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option  (a), (b), (c) and (d).
