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.

Sperm cells are about to be made from a cell with 66 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will the sperm cells have?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

33

Explanation:

Gametes (sperm or egg) have half the chromosome of a diploid cell. That's why they are haploid cells.

If chromosomes come from a cell with 66 chromosomes, sperm will have 66/2 = 33.

That's why us humans have 46 chromosomes, but our egg or sperm has only 46/2 = 23 chromosomes.
