A scientist is comparing cancerous cells with noncancerous cells.

Biology

Simora [160]3 years ago

The scientist should notice that the cancer cells have a <u>higher</u> rate of cell division and  have a <u>lower</u> response to inhibiting factors. Cell groups that are cancerous should  have a <u>lower</u> percent of cells in interphase than noncancerous cells.

Explanation:

The general characteristics of cancerous cells are defined by the ‘hallmarks of cancer’ like ‘enable replicative immortality, activate invasion and metastasis, resist cell death, evade growth suppressors’ etc. All these facts prove that they grow and divide at a higher rate and undergo uncontrollable mitotic cell division leading to proliferative invasion.

The cancerous cells also show low or no response to inhibiting factors like growth suppressors like p53, cyclins and other anti-tumor drugs.

The number of cancer cells in interphase is lower than noncancerous cells because interphase is a phase of cell growth, development and differentiation. Cancer cells undergo uncontrollable mitosis and more time is spent after the interphase to facilitate rapid cell division rather than growth or development.

2. Suppose that you and 19 of your classmates (giving a final population of 10 males and 10 females) are on a cruise, and your s
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.25%

Explanation:

20 people start the new population. So there are 20 genes or 40 alleles for the recessive disorder phenylketonuria. 2 out of 40 alleles are recessive for the condition hence frequency of the allele = 2/40 = 0.05

Frequency of the allele does not change when the population increases so it is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it, if q is the frequency of recessive allele, q² = frequency of the recessive condition

Here, q = 0.05 So,

q² = (0.05)² = 0.0025

In percentage, it is 100 * 0.0025 = 0.25%

Hence, incidence of phenylketonuria in the new population is 0.25%

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The evidence suggests that these chloroplast organelles were also once free-living bacteria.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic event that generated mitochondria must have happened early in the history of eukaryotes, because all eukaryotes have them.

Give 2 ways that exposing non-pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics as a side effect of antibiotic treatment for a pathogen may inc
Airida [17]

Answer:

The resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics is increasing and the disease which were easily treatable using the antibiotics, are now incurable and bacteria becomes resistant.  

The overdose and misuse of antibiotics Is a big concern of worry. Every time we use antibiotics, it will kill the bacteria which were sensitive but resistant bacteria will survive and starts growing and this process will increase the growth of the resistant bacteria upon the nest use of the antibiotics.  

Also due to unawareness, the use of antibacterial tablets against viral infections also cause increase in resistance of bacteria against antibiotics.
