8 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

Are viruses considered to be cells? Why or why not
GuDViN [60]

An increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to a(n) ________.
OLga [1]
An increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to an increase in production of ADH. Hormone ADH also called vasopressin is responsible for regulating the amount of water in the blood and is released from the pituitary gland based on signals from the hypothalamus, which detects the water levels of the blood. When too much water is in the blood, the hormone release is decreased and more water is excreted in the kidneys and thus increasing urine output.
