Answer: Colon cancer
Explanation:
All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.
Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.
Answer:
Cuticle
Explanation:
Plant cuticle is a waxy covering over the aerial epidermal cells of all the plants. Waxes are composed of cutin and a various organic solvent-soluble lipids. The cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer which provides protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses. In other words the cucticle helps to retain water and give plants an adavanthe to live terrestrial life.
<h2>
Answer: (b) Cholesterol</h2>
Explanation:
As the name suggests, cholesterol is a sterol (a modified steroid). It is biosynthesized by animal cells.
Answer:
Using the concept of relative dating
Explanation:
Scientists use the concept of relative dating principles to determine when the Great Oxidation event occurred.
Relative dating is the process of placing ancient event in their proper time sequence based on the relationship between rock lithologies.
- An event like the great oxidation will have significant chemical, biological and physical effect on the rock units.
- Rocks that form during this period in time will have very unique chemical signatures.
- Therefore, by studying these rocks, the age of the layer can be fixed when we compare it to the standard geological column.
