Answer:
"Option B. The tilt of the moon´s orbit around the earth
" limits the number of eclipses per year
<u>Explanation</u>:
The moon's orbit is tilted only by
. Around the sun when the earth and moon move, the tilt of the moon changes according to the direction of the sun. When the same thing occurs to the earth, the seasonal changes occur. The theory is all related to moon's formation. Due to this tilt the moon's road near the stars changes slightly in every month. The inclination is with respect to the ecliptic plane. If this inclination was absent then we could have felt the eclipse more frequently.
Answer: Colon cancer
Explanation:
All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.
Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.
Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.
It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.
However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.
So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.
