Answer: The correct answer is C.) They divide rapidly.

Cancerous cells are rapidly dividing cells, which can invade to nearby tissues and also travel to some other areas through blood circulation. Hair follicles and bone marrow cells are also rapidly dividing.

Thus, chemicals used in chemotherapy treatments to fight cancer can also harm cells in hair follicles and bone marrow.

Therefore, C) is the right answer.

One type of muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is is an inherited condition that usually only affects boys. Muscle
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy acts as a X-linked recessive disease. Which means the gene sits on the X chromosome, and you need two bad copies to show disease (for females) and one bad copy (to show in males).

Now from our knowledge, we know males are XY and females are XX. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father, thus if they get the mutated version of the gene that causes this disease, they will get the disease. However, if a female has a mutated version of gene on one of the X chromosome, the other X chromosome could have a normal gene and that normal gene would take over and produce a normal phenotype/function.

Since, boys only have one X chromosome, if they get the mutated gene they will get the disease, whereas females have two X chromosome (so even if one copy is bad and the other is good, the good version can take over, however boys don't have this) thus mostly male children are affected by this.

Name two ways that veins and arteries are different.

The chief difference between arteries<span> and </span>veins<span> is the job that they do. </span>Arteries<span> carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and </span>veins<span> carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. 

Another difference would be v</span><span>eins have valves and arteries do not. In arteries, blood flows in the right direction because of the heart pumping it forwards at high pressures. The lower blood pressure in veins means that valves are needed to stop blood flowing backwards (for example, in veins in the legs, blood needs to flow upwards against the pull of gravity).</span>

Explanation:

Antibody:

Antibodies are the part of immune system that is protein in nature and  produced to protect body from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. These pathogens are recognized through the fragment antigen-binding variable region. Antibodies are also known as immunoglobulin.

Gamma globulins are the class of globulins, Antibodies are the most significant gamma globulins but it should be remember that some antibodies are not gamma globulins.

Correct Answer:

On the basis of above knowledge discussed the correct answer of this question is option b i.e Have a variable region that can activate complement or attach to macrophages.
