Answer:

Stage IV - There is a primary tumor, lymph node involvement and metastases.

Explanation:

Staging is the extent of spread of tumor within the patient.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) divides all cancers into Stages 0 - IV, incorporating into each stage several TNM (tumor/node/metastasis) stages usually with the same prognosis.  

Staging is essential in determining the patient prognosis.

The approximate 5-year survival rate for colorectal cancer patients of all stages is 64.4% (In the United States) and survival is inversely related to stage.

Surgery usually provides the only curative option for patients diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.

S. If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will take place? Explain the reason for your a
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Well for the onion peel, since its a plant cell...it shall gain water from the solution as it has a lower water potentail,and hence increase in size, becoming turgid and tight, with the cell wall exerting pressure to stop it from bursting.

For the RBC, its an animal cell, and shall also gain water, but since there is no cell wall to support it, it shall soon gain so much water that it shall burst becuase of the pressure, through lysis, and shall die.

Note, the plant cell does not die.

5. Which of the following statements best explains the role of meiosis in reproduction?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Meiosis makes it possible for a zygote to have the correct number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division used by reproducing organisms to produce the gametes (as sperm or egg cells). It has two rounds of division that results in four cells with one copy of each chromosome.

Before the division, genetic material from each chromosome is crossed over and creates new combinations of code on each chromosome. During fertilization, the cells produced by meiosis will conjoin to create a cell with copies of each chromosome again, the zygote.
