Cancer is not inherited is described below.

Explanation:

Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. For example, inhibitors of the cell cycle keep cells from dividing when conditions aren’t right, so too little activity of these inhibitors can promote cancer. Similarly, positive regulators of cell division can lead to cancer if they are too active. In most cases, these changes in activity are due to mutations in the genes that encode cell cycle regulator proteins.

Cancer cells behave differently than normal cells in the body.For example, cancer cells can multiply in culture (outside of the body in a dish) without any growth factors, or growth-stimulating protein signals, being added. This is different from normal cells, which need growth factors to grow in culture.

Cancer cells may make their own growth factors, have growth factor pathways that are stuck in the "on" position, or, in the context of the body, even trick neighboring cells into producing growth factors to sustain them^1

The correct answer for this statement would be FALSE. It is not true that ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is the product of Photosystem I, but rather it is NADPH or <span>Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate</span>. Photosystems are defined as clusters of chlorophyll and proteins. Hope this answer helps.

Observe the two plants. Which cellular change affected the structure of second plant?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D which is release of water from the vacuoles.

Explanation:

The difference in second plant from the first one is rigidity. Second one is wilted and not rigid. This is due to the release of water from the vacuoles in the cell of plants.

Vacuoles are present in the center of plant cell. They are usually filled with water and provide structural support to the cell.

In the absence of water filled vacuoles, plants shoots are wilted as in case of second plant.

Assuming dragon genetics follows the same rules as fruit flies, what ratio of genotypes would you expect if the genes were not l
andrew11 [14]

Assuming dragon genetics follow the same rules as fruit flies, we would get the same possible genotype for all 16 offspring provided that the genes are not linked.

Considering dragon genetics, flame eyes (F) are dominant to blue eyes (f) and burbling (B) is dominant to whistling (b).

Now, a dihybrid cross between two homozygous blue-eyed, whistling dragons will yield 16 offspring all with the same possible genotype .i.e. homozygous blue-eyed, whistling type.

Morgan through experiments on fruit flies observed that when the two genes in a dihybrid cross were situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combination were much higher than the non-parental type.

He attributed this due to the physical association or linkage of the two genes and coined the term 'linkage' to describe the physical association of genes on a chromosome. The term 'recombination' is to describe the generation of non-parental gene combination.
