Answer:

Explanation:

Since it is a recessive gene, tumor suppressor genes required the inactivation of both alleles, this is usually accomplished by the mutation of one allele and a targeted homozygous deletion of the second allele. This leads to an effective inactivation of the suppressor genes with the mutations acting a a dominant negatives. This way, patients are put at a higher risk of developing cancer

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Niche

Explanation:

Niche basically is the lifelihood of a species that involves feeding on what, drinking from what....

If both species are competing for the same resources, they would compete until a certain species is eradicated. (think of it as 2 species of ants in 2 colonies that are close to each other, take the same leaves, prey and stuff. They would fight with each other in other until one colony is eradicated.) hence, unless a species and adapt and change its niche, both species would fight until one is eliminated. Thus, the principle states that 2 species cannot continue to occupy the same niche, not living environment.

Garden plants are eaten by snails, which are eaten by birds, which are eaten by the household cat. What happens to the other mem
Alex17521 [72]

The correct answer is (d) The number of plants and birds increases and the number of snail decreases.

Green plants are eaten by snails, snails by birds, and birds by household cat. If cat is removed from the cycle then the number of birds will increase which will decrease the number of snail in the environment.  As there are large number of birds there will be a great demand of snails as a food for birds. Then there will be a decrease in the number of snails because of over eating of snails. There will be an increase in the number of garden plants because very less number of snails are left that will eat garden plants.
