Answer:

d) Stratified layering

Explanation:

The wall of the ducts is formed by a lining epithelium that forms a small tube with a central lumen.  The epithelium that forms the duct is initially of the simple cubic type. If the gland is small and the duct is short, it maintains this structure throughout its course, subjected to a high degree of pressure.

These ducts have from more complex glands the duct epithelium ends up becoming simple prismatic and may even become stratified. In this case, the tissues have stratified layering

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

B. It inhibits the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis

Explanation:

Apoptosis is a cellular pathway that leads to programmed cell death. Viral FLICE-inhibitory proteins (FLIPs) bind to the adaptor proteins and block the interaction between the DISC complex with the caspase-8 protease enzyme, which triggers apoptotic cell death. In consequence, cells become resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis, a pathway initiated by the FADD protein which is known to recruit caspase-8.

Upon genetic analysis of the cancerous tissue, a mutated form of a gene, named the kid gene, was discovered in all affected indi
hammer [34]

Answer: option A - tumor-suppressor gene

Explanation:

A cancerous tissue is growing or spreading rapidly at a harmful rate. However, for a tissue to become cancerous, its "internal guard" usually known as a TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE must have lost or reduced its function.

This loss of function occurs after mutation.

So, definitely, all affected individuals with cancerous tissues have mutated tumour suppressor genes unlike unaffected individuals.

Note that other options are WRONG, because none of them accurately distinguishes affected from unaffected individuals
