Answer: Fat

Explanation:

The liver is one of the most important organ of the body which helps in removal of toxins from the body.

There are many functions of liver in the body but one of the main functions is that it aids in the digestion of fat by secreting bile juice.

It also processes the nutrients that is being digested and absorbed in the small intestine. The bile juice that is secreted by the liver is sent via duct to the stomach which helps in emulsification of fat.

It breaks down the large fat molecules into droplets called micelles. It also activates the enzyme named lipase which also helps in the digestion of fat.

So, blockage in the hepatic duct will interfere with the digestion of fat.

Most cells that experience mutations or damage _________. Select one: a. become cancer b. undergo apoptosis c. become a malignan

ANTONII [103]

A. Become cancer because in the process of mitosis (cell replication) idlf the cell replication does not work properly and keep going on and on it will begin creating mutations to help it replicate causing cancer to happen.
Ex: let's say you have a paper cut. Your blood cells must replicate in order to close that gap in your body. They begin replication but if they get out of control and begin creating mutations it will turn into cancer.

Analyze DNA is isolated from a hair found in a knit hat that was recovered from the scene of a bank robbery. DNA fingerprints ar

zepelin [54]

The DNA of the samples is isolated, and then the mapping is carried out, which is done by equipment called "DNA Sequencers". With this, it is possible to compare the genomes and conclude to whom the hair belongs.

In the case of hair, researchers can rely on these two types of DNA (nuclear and mitochondrial). However, according to the Easy-DNA Laboratory, a hair that is cut, unfortunately, does not contain any valid DNA nucleus. However, when the hair still contains the hair bulb (hair root) it is possible to extract the nuclear DNA, because in that region we have thousands of hair forming cells (keratinocytes).

With this information, we can conclude that the DNA can be analyzed and compared, arriving at who committed the bank robbery.
