Answer:

Cancer is the most common pathological result of DNA damage

Explanation:

DNA damage refers to a change in the basic structure of DNA due to natural or environmental factors. DNA damage results in changes in the structure of genes as well as altering the replication machinery of DNA. DNA damage may occur as a break in a DNA strand, deletion of a base of DNA, or an altered DNA base as in  8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a common marker for oxidative DNA damage.

When these damages to DNA occur, DNA repair proteins are activated to repair the damaged DNA or in some severe cases, self-destruct. However, when these DNA damages are such that these cells lose the ability to follow the instructions of the replication machinery, the cells proliferate without control resulting in the development of various forms of cancers.

This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport,  because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and  harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).

in the reaction c o2 → co2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. what mass of oxygen would be nee
Strike441 [17]
From the given balanced chemical reaction,
                                   C + O2 -> CO2
the mass ratio of the carbon and oxygen that is needed for the reaction is 12:32. Simplifying the ratio gives 3 unit mass C is to 8 unit mass O2. Given 18 g of carbon,
           18 g x (32 g oxygen / 12 g carbon) = 48 grams. 
For the given product, the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide is 32: 44.
                      72 g CO2 x (32 g O2 / 44 g CO2) = 52.36 grams
