What part of cell division/cell cycle is affected to cause thyroid cancer? why?
Rashid [163]

Cancer cells act differently to regular cells in the body. These differences are related to cell divisional behavior. For example, cancer cell(s) can multiply and grow outside the body. Regular cells can only grow inside the body. Cancer cells can trick neighboring cells into making growth factors that sustain their life. I hope this answers your question, If not, here's a link:

A cousin who has been traveling overseas sneaks a plant through customs (who help along with the USDA, help to prevent invasive
Reil [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.

In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:

- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out

- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off

- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well

- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem

Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.
