Explain how environmental agents such as chemicals and radiation cause cancer.

Biology
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
4 0

Chemical (mutagens) usually either mimic the structure of nucleotides and are inserted in DNA or either cause chemical changes  (such as alkylation) in nucleotides hence causing mismatching during replication. Radiation, on the other hand, (due to its high energy) causes double-strand breaks in DNA causing an increased likelihood of mutations during the repair of the DNA by cell mechanisms.

it plays a vital role in regulating  blood flow, through a process called cerebral auto regulation,This is needed to maintain efficient cerebral blood flow of oxygen and other metabolites, and withdraw of metabolic wastes from the brain.

why the Eukarya domain includes more complex living things than the Archaea or Bacteria domains? A. All prokaryotes are unicellu
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is C eukaryotes have a greater variety of genetic material than prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells consist of single chromosome and their DNA is present in a dense region called nucleoid.As one copy of each gene is present in the chromosome prokaryotic cells are haploid.The DNA of prokaryotic cells are circular

 Whereas eukaryotic DNA is linear and multiple distinct chromosomes are present in eukaryotes.Two copies of each chromosome are present are in many eukaryotic cells.As a result the eukaryotic cells are diploid in nature.

   Due to this greater variety of genetic material the domain eukarya are more complex than archea and or bacteria domains.
