Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

B. The cell will grow uncontrollably and continue to divide as long as it has food.

Cell growth is theeoretically stimulated by the binding of growth factors to their receptors using signaling pathways.

These pathways are regulated by proteins which are encoded for in the genes.

The gene that controls the regulation of these pathway when mutated produce malfunctioning signaling protein thus not allow for regulations of the cell cycle causing uncontrollable cell division. These mutated genes are called oncogenes.

Describe the division of the geologic time scale using terms eon epoch and period
timurjin [86]

The geologic time scale is referred to as the system of chronological dating which is related to geological strata to time. It is used by palaeontologists, geologists and earth scientists to describe the relationship of events and timing that occurs during Earth’s history. The primary division of time is defined as eons. Eons follow a sequence of the Archean, the Hadean and the Proterozoic which are referred as Precambrian superon.

Eons are divided into an era whereby those eras are subdivided into periods, ages, and epochs. Eon, epoch, period and ages correspond with eonothem, series, systems and stage which are mostly used to refer to layers of rock which then stretches to geologic time in the history of the earth.
