Biology
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. increased precipitation upwind of the city

Explanation:

The urban heat island effect, causes increased in the precipitation of upwind in the city. The warmer temperatures in cities, creates unstable air which leads to rain. Air is unstable when it is warmer than the air around it. The warm, unstable air starts to rise. The air cools as it rises, which allows water vapor within it to condense and form clouds. If the warm, rising air was carrying enough water vapor, those clouds can grow into rainclouds.

Independent Variable: flight
Dependent Variable: size of parachutes
Controlled Variables: precipitation, wind speed, person using parachute (weight), and the shape of the parachute.

The question is slightly broad; it does not specify whether the experiment focuses on the quality of the flight (stability in the air), speed of descent, or the distance it can travel. However, this is what I have come up with.

Explain three ways a proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene can lead to cancer.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Proto-oncogenes signal cells to grow and differentiate. However, they can become oncogenes due to mutations which result in the uncontrollable division of the cells, i.e. cancer. One way is a point mutation in a proto-oncogene. The consequence is changed protein product. Another way is gene amplification of DNA segment containing a proto-oncogene. As the result, the encoded protein is overexpressed. The third way is translocation. As the result of translocation, proto-oncogene can be controlled by the different promoter and expressed inappropriately.
