Explain why a combination of x-rays, ct scans, bone scans and mri scans is used when diagnosing bone cancer.

1 answer:

6 0

Many reasons are involved in this combination. First, as bone cancer is not easy to determine, doctors may have to use biopsy to have a first look, but it needs to be paired with x rays and different scnas to confirm and do it more acurately. Some bone infection may cause symptoms and imaging results that could be confused with bone cancer.Have in mind that <span>bone metastases can usually be diagnosed based on x-rays and other imaging tests.A combination of all the scans and X rays can help to detect bone cancer in different places of the body, as every method can show tumors in specific parts of the skeleton. </span>

UNO [17]

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

As temperature increases the rate of enzyme activity increases until it reaches approximately 37 degrees Celsius. As temperature increases beyond 37 degrees Celsius, the enzyme activity decreases. The activity decreases because the enzyme denatures.

Any enzyme has certain temperature, pH and pressure to maintain its activity. Only at the ideal or ambient parameters the enzyme works. Most of the enzymes that are present in the human body gets activated by 37 degrees and gets denatured beyond that temperature.

The ________ a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.

densk [106]

The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
