Ans.

Cancer is defined as a state that shows uncontrolled growth of the body cells. These cells travel to the other body organs and destroy normal cells. It is mainly caused by mutations in the genes that regulate cell cycle and cell division, such as proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes.

Mutagens are those chemical or physical agents that induce mutation in normal genes. Thus, 'increased exposure of mutagens will eventually lead to higher cancer risk in individuals by increasing mutations.'

You went running on a hot day. After your run, you sit down and feel very warm. How is homeostasis reacting?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

When you run, your muscles use energy and contract. This contraction and use of muscle fibers produces heat, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide. Your body will attempt to correct homeostasis by sweating to cool down your body (When the water in your sweat evaporates, it takes some heat energy with it), you breath harder to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide, and your blood attempts to clear the lactic out of your muscles.

Why do scientists take lots of measurements and calculate averages?
Dima020 [189]
 Scientists take more than one measurements because they want to make sure that their results are fairly accurate answer, result, or/ and explanation on a subject.

Reason: If a scientist just used one measurement or used even one testing group then in the near future, people might use that ONE measurement or testing group to prove questions. .
   In actuality, using more than one measurements can help you go for a more precise answer. It is better to use more than one measurement or testing group that way you may have a more wide explanation of why something is that way.
   For example, if a person wants to know why a softer ball(like a tennis ball) bounces higher than something like a box then the person will use more than one measurement. This will include the height of the bounce, the volume of the items used, the force of gravity on the object, and some other things.

(Hope this helps you better understand :) )
