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.'

How do the cell walls of the Archaea compare to the cell walls found in Bacteria?

Maksim231197 [3]

Archaea and bacteria have generally similar cell structure, but cell composition and organization set the archaea apart. Like bacteria, archaea lack interior membranes and organelles. Like bacteria, archaea cell membranes are usually bounded by a cell wall and they swim using one or more flagella.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

A fungi is a unicellular or multicellular organism that is heterotropic; feeding off dead organic matter or a parasite, feeding off living organisms; reproduces through spores.

Explanation:

FUNGI -: Fungi can be single-celled organisms or multicellular organisms with a great deal of complexity. They can be found in almost any habitat, but the majority of them reside on land, primarily in soil or plant material, rather than in the sea or fresh water. Decomposers are organisms that live in the soil or on dead plant materials and play a vital part in carbon and other element cycling. Some are plant parasites that cause illnesses such mildews, rusts, scabs, and canker. Fungal diseases in crops can cause a farmer to lose a lot of money. Animals are afflicted by a small number of fungus. Athletes' foot, ringworm, and thrush are examples of human skin diseases.

Fungi play an important part in the breakdown of organic materials and in the cycling and exchange of nutrients in the environment. They've long been utilized as a direct source of human food in the form of mushrooms and truffles, as a bread leavening agent, and in the fermentation of a variety of foods like wine, beer, and soy sauce.

Hence , the answer is fungi.

Mitosis happens to our skins cells to replace those that are damaged or have died. Cells have a limit, and then they commit cell suicide or apoptosis. Before dying or be damaged, the skin cells first reproduce themselves in order help keep our body protected with our first layer of defense.
