The lymphatic system differs from the cardiovascular system in that

Biology
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A) the lymphatic system only carries fluid away from tissues.

Explanation:

More differences between lymphatic system and circulatory system are:

• Circulatory system consists of a network of blood vessels through which blood is pumped by a “pump” called heart. In lymphatic system there is no such thing as a pump (only lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes)

• Lymph capillaries are closed on one side, so lymph does not circulate, but only drains to reach veins .

• Circulatory system has different role than lymphatic system: it tranports oxygen and other gases, nutrients and hormones, but also wastes that need to be excreted. On the other hand, lymphatic system has a role in immune system, fat and vitamin absorption and transportation.

Explain at least 2 ways cancer would affect different levels of organization
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

Cancer cells do not contain the capacity to undergo

  • a regular cell cycle where they only undergo cell division in response to external signals within their environment, i.e. regulation.
  • differentiation into specialized cell types, with different physical  traits; together they can't form different tissues.

Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer. Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.

Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

How has human activity impacted the evolution of the peppered moth?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Most peppered moths used to be grey with dark spots, but have evolved to be mostly black. This is because pollution from the Industrial Revolution threw soot on the trees causing them to look black. This gave the black moths camouflage from predatory birds meaning they survived and reproduced. By survival of the fittest, the peppered moths became black like the trees.
