Natural selection is the differential survival and
reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It provides a
viable explanation for adaptation and speciation as it explains the change in
heritable traits characteristic of a population over time. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt
to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. Natural
selection can change a species in small ways, causing a population to change
color or size over the course of several generations. Given enough time and
enough accumulated changes, natural selection can create entirely new species. It
can turn dinosaurs into birds, amphibious mammals into whales and the ancestors
of apes into humans.
Answer: May occur in response to growth factors
Explanation:
Hyperplasia is increased cell production in a normal tissue or organ. Hyperplasia may be a sign of abnormal or precancerous changes. This is called pathologic hyperplasia.
Pathologic hyperplasia can occur in response to hormones and growth factors (for example in endometrial hyperplasia, the hyperplasia caused by excessive hormonal stimulation or growth factors acting on target. Thus, patients with hyperplasia of the endometrium are at increased risk for developing endometrial cancer.)
Hyperplasia is also an important response of connective tissue cells in wound healing, in which proliferating fibroblasts and blood vessels aid in repair.
Under normal circumstances, growth factors are responsible for the hyperplasia. Stimulation by growth factors is also involved in the hyperplasia that is associated with certain viral infections, such as papillomaviruses, which cause skin warts and several mucosal lesions composed of masses of hyperplastic epithelium.
Other important concepts to note:
Dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells. Compensatory hyperplasia enables organ regeneration and is a normal process: hyperplasia is not normal. Pathologic hyperplasia increases cell number. Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells and consequently in the size of the affected organ.
I think it's important to concentrate yourself to complete what you are doing, but if you have also new ideas try to develop them into something useful
The answer is B. Photosynthesis is when a plant uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to to make food in order to provide energy for the rest of the processes the plant has to do.
