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.

The average female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) produces two million eggs in a single spawning. How does this relate to natural s
Alex Ar [27]
This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.
