Answer:

mediante mutaciones en el ADN  

Explanation:

El desastre ecológico de Chernóbil estuvo asociado a la liberación de importantes cantidades de radiación en forma de radioisótopos hacia la atmósfera, como producto de la explosión de un reactor que contenía toneladas de uranio radiactivo. La exposición a este tipo de radiación aumenta las probabilidades de sufrir mutaciones en la molécula de ADN. Dicho de otro modo, la radiación incrementa las chances de sufrir cambios en el material genético hereditario. Las mutaciones generalmente son corregidas por los mecanismos de reparación del ADN; sin embargo, existen ocasiones donde las mutaciones no son reparadas. Por otro lado, las mutaciones a menudo tienen efectos deletéreos y por lo tanto están asociadas a enfermedades, ya que los cambios en la secuencia genética provocan consecuentemente también cambios en las proteínas codificadas por estos genes. Por ejemplo, las mutaciones sufridas por genes supresores de tumores se encuentran asociadas a la aparición de células cancerosas por el mal funcionamiento de dichos genes. El efecto de la mutación depende del tipo celular que sufre la mutación: aunque las mutaciones sufridas por células somáticas pueden afectar la salud, estos tipos de mutaciones no son heredadas (simplemente porque las células somáticas no se heredan), mientras que las mutaciones sufridas por células germinales, es decir, en las células encargadas de la formación de gametos, pueden ser transmitidas a la descendencia.

7. Slime molds are fungus like protists, but they are not fungi. Why?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Because they can move

Explanation:

Fungi cannot make food themselves so they depend heavily on hosts. Also fungi lack the proper cilia to move, so they use spores instead to "move".

In the case of slime mold, they are like an animal fungus per se. They are like Protozoa in their amoeboid plasmodial stage and similar to true fungi in spore formation.

How would an object blocking a bronchus affect its airflow?
igomit [66]
Because the lung has two bronchi, it can still function if one bronchus is blocked by a foreign object. No gas exchange will happen to the affected side, and the other lung will compensate for the loss of air. The blocked portion though can become inflamed and can lead to infection and damage.
