Explanation:
Cancer cells do not contain the capacity to undergo
- a regular cell cycle where they only undergo cell division in response to external signals within their environment, i.e. regulation.
- differentiation into specialized cell types, with different physical traits; together they can't form different tissues.
Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer.
Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.
Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.
Further Explanation:
During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:
- somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
- hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer:
The statement that can best explain why during the warmer parts of the day, fish are found in deeper waters of a lake is that warmth lowers the oxygen concentration near the surface.
Explanation:
Organisms in any aquatic ecosystem require oxygen to perform their functions and survive. But the availability of dissolved oxygen in water, especially at the surface, can be affected by environmental temperature.
- <em>Warm temperature decreases the dissolution of oxygen in the lake surface water, encouraging fish to move to deeper areas.
</em>
- <em>Lower temperatures increase the dissolution and availability of water at the surface, so fish can be found closer to the surface when the weather is cold.
</em>
This behaviour of dissolution / availability of oxygen at the lake surface can be observed with seasonal changes or with temperature changes between day and night.
