How is cancer related to the cell cycle?
solong [7]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Why is the menstrual cycle an important adaptation for reproduction in humans?
raketka [301]
The menstrual cycle is practically controlled by a system of hormones that is necessary for reproduction, and when the hormone reaches a heightened level, something called estradiol is made, then the stimulation of the ovaries by a luteinizing hormone.

Once that hormone begins developing, the ovaries make an egg that quickly becomes an ovum. The ovary then releases one egg or two during ovulation. The endometrium (the part that sheds its own cells for the menstruation) peaks after ovulation and changes the lining of the uterus to prepare for the hectic process of pregnancy and child labor. 

Hope that was helpful.

In the figure below, ΔMNO≅ΔPQR.What is the measure of ∠P? Show your work and explain your reasoning.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P = 79.5\°}

Explanation:

<u>Given that:</u>

ΔMNO ≅ ΔPQR

That means

M ↔ P

N ↔ Q

O ↔ R

So,

∠P ≅ ∠M

Given that P = 3x + 20.4 and M = 5x - 19

3x + 20.4 = 5x - 19

Add 19 to both sides

3x + 20.4 + 19 = 5x

3x + 39.4 = 5x

Subtract 3x to both sides

39.4 = 5x - 3x

39.4 = 2x

2x = 39.4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 19.7

<u>Given that:</u>

P = 3x + 20.4

P = 3(19.7) + 20.4            (x = 19.7)

P = 59.1 + 20.4

P = 79.5°

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
