B. Mutations cause a person's body cells to divide uncontrollably. There isn't a signal for cells to stop dividing, so this can cause cancer because cancer cells won't stop dividing without this signal.

Which CNS neuroglial cells remove cell debris, wastes, and pathogens by phagocytosis?
marin [14]

Answer:

Microglial cells

Explanation:

Microglial cells are one of the various types of neuroglial cells in the central nervous system. Microglial cells are the small cells and have thin slender processes. Many spine-shaped outgrowths come out of these processes. Microglial cells serve as phagocytes of the central nervous system. These cells clean the cellular debris that is generated during the normal development of the nervous system. Microglial cells also perform phagocytosis of microbes and damaged nervous tissue.

how does the random alignment of homologous chromosomes contribute to genetic variation in a population
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.

During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.

The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.

Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.

During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.

In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.

Describe the genetic code and its relationship to polypeptides and proteins
konstantin123 [22]

The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

Instructions:Drag each tile to the correct box.
rjkz [21]
The correct sequence is sources emit greenhouse gases; global temperatures rise; snow and ice melt; and sea levels rise. The natural and man made sources emit greenhouse gases that are responsible for the greenhouse effect. The increase in the Earth's temperature due to these gases absorbing more heat from the sun caused climate change like melting of snow and ice which contributes to the rising sea levels.
