Describe the genetic mutations that you think occurred in the cancer cells that were responsible for the phenotypic differences

between the normal and cancercells you observed. The normal cells were organized, normal shape, and the cancerous cells were all over the place stacked together, multiple nuclei in one cell for some and a lot of them in on area. I think the genetic mutation that occurred would be with the gene that affects cell division and the tumor suppressor gene.

ANSWER:

Most types of cancer are believed to begin with a random genetic mutation. This is followed by mutations, which endow the cancer cells with properties allowing them to grow without normal controls to become a tumor.

Mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.

Genetic Mutations that lead to cancer cell formation can occur in two forms:

1. GROWTH-PROMOTING GENES are commonly mutated in cancer cells, becoming SUPER-ACTIVE and producing cells that are too strongly stimulated by growth receptors.

2. Mutations can INACTIVATE the genes that suppress cell proliferation or those that signal the need for apoptosis. These genes are known as TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES.

The ability to detect physical energy through our visual or touch systems
PIT_PIT [208]
Sensation

detection of physical energy by sense organs, which then send info to the brain
- Detection of stimuli by sense organs
- how info gets to our brain = detecting stimuli
- allows us to pick up the signals in our environment
- ex. vision- going through eye to visual cortex and smell - going through nose.

Multicellular colonies of plant cells adhere to each other primarily by ________, whereas multicellular colonies of animal cells
Marysya12 [62]

Multi cellular colonies of plant cells adhere to each other primarily by cell walls, whereas multi cellular colonies of animal cells are typically held together by proteins

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The organisms that contains more than single single are called as multi cellular organisms. They are just opposite to the uni cellular organisms. When many identical organisms groups to form together it is called as colonies.

It will be difficult in removing any organisms that forms colonies with the multi cellular organisms.The multi cellular organism of the cells in the plants are bonded to each other with the help of the cells walls. In animal cells these are bounded together with the help of the proteins.
