1. Explain why planarians and flukes are called flatworms.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Platyhelminthes are mostly worm like organisms that are dorsoventrally flattened, meaning they look like a leaf and this is why they are coined names like the Tapeworm, Flatworm, Fluke and Planarian.

Most Platyhelminthes are parasites on other animals but only the Turbellarians are mostly non-parasitic. A few species are commensalists, or mutualists living with other larger organism.

They are classified into:

  • Class Turbellaria
  • Class Monogenea
  • Class Trematoda
  • Class Cestoda

Imagine that scientists have discovered an industrial pollutant that modifies the structure of a cell cycle checkpoint protein s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Carcinogenic

Explanation:

A carcinogenic substance is able to modify or damage the genome in a way which promotes the formation of cancerous cells. Cell cycle checkpoint proteins are very crucial for the progression of normal cell cycle. They check for any anomaly in their designated step and halt the process if it is detected. Repair mechanism is activated and cell cycle does not progress till the damage has been repaired.

Here, the pollutant alters the structure of these proteins such that they lose their function. They are not be able to stop cell cycle from progressing even if there is some damage in the genome. The cell divides and gives rise to more damaged cells. Eventually these cells lose their normal function and just keep dividing due to which their division rate becomes double of the normal rate. It can ultimately give rise to cancer which is why the chemical is carcinogenic.
