Cancers may be either inherited or they may be induced by environmental factors such as carcinogens and radiation. Select the st

fomenos

Answer:

Option (2) and (3).

Explanation:

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of the cell that might results in the loss of apoptosis in the cells. The cancer cell shows the property like angiogenesis and loss of contact inhibition.

Both the hereditary factors like mutations in some gene and environmental factors like any mutagen may inhibit the process of the cell division. Both these factors mainly inhibits the gene that are responsible for the regulation of the cell cycle like p53, Rb.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2) and (3).

In the paired chromosomes, which pair might have two different chromosomes with very different genetic coding?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome. These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions. So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

Why does having a genetically diverse population make a species more likely

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a population is genetically diverse there is a higher probability for some individuals in that population to survive during harsh conditions such as drought due to their highly resistant genes.

Answer:

A. They are ductile and malleable

Explanation:

Although they have luster/shine they can be be dissolved in water and in acid so it can not be all of the above. They are malleable so they can be easily be made into jewelry.
