Answer:

Germline mutations

Explanation:

Mutation in the cancer critical genes leads to the formation of stable mutant protein whose accumulation leads to the origin of cancer cells. Mutant p53 proteins not only lose their tumor suppressive activities (P53 gene is a tumor suppressive gene) but often gain additional oncogenic functions that allow for uncontrolled division of cells allowing increased growth and survival advantages. the same also goes for the retinoblastoma gene which is also a tumor suppressor gene that regulates cell division and other cellular activities. This mutations are usually inherited and can be transfered to their offspring.

Study the diagram below. In which order does oxygen flow through the human circulatory system?
anyanavicka [17]
The order of flow of oxygen within the human body may be described simply. Oxygen first is inhaled through the nasal cavity and then passes through the trachea, through the bronchi and into the lungs. In the lungs, the oxygen is passed into the blood stream through the alveoli and then is carried to the heart. The heart pumps this oxygenated blood throughout the body, primarily to organs and muscle cells, where it is consumed in respiration and is converted to carbon dioxide and excreted.
