Answer:

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.

Explanation:

Cancer is caused by gene mutations, which are sometimes caused by inherited gene mutations (ones you are born with), or mutations that occur after birth (i.e smoking, being overweight, chronic inflammation, viruses, cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens), hormones, and lack of exercise.)

Your habits (drinking alcohol frequently etc. )

And family history are the main influences of cancer.

However, inherited cancer is usually rare.

Hope this helps!!!

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly, he wants to control because they were against the scientific opinion during his time.
  • Mendel takes a pea plant for his experiment because it can be easily observable.
  • Pea plant has seven traits and it can be pollinated by both the ways. One is self-pollination and the other is cross-pollination.
  • Mendel did not know about the genes but he speculates the factors of formation in the traits.
  • Mendel produces three laws, the law of dominance, the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment.
