Mariulka [41]

Answer: The correct answer is B) city hall:control center.

As per the question, model of cell looks like a city where different buildings correspond to different organelles ( membrane bound subcellular compartments like nucleus, golgi complex, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum).

Nucleus is a specialized membrane bound compartment that possesses the genetic material ( DNA) of the Eukaryotes ( like plants and animals).

Nucleus controls all the essential activities of the cell by regulating the expression of gene ( segment of DNA corresponding to a particular protein).

Therefore, in the model of cell, city hall;control center represents the nucleus of the cell.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Cancer cells can arise in a variety of ways, the most common, however, tends to be genetic mutations.

Genetic mutations can occur during the life of a cell due to outside factors such as:

The food we eat
The environment we expose the cell to
The substances that touch the cell (e.g skin cells)

That being said, the most common time for a genetic mutation to take place is during cellular division. During this time the DNA that encodes the cells is duplicated. Genetic mutations in this DNA sometimes cause the elimination of programmed cell death.

Programmed cell death is what tells a cell when it should stop growing and dividing. This is a regulatory function designed to keep the number of cells at a balance, growing only when needed. As this cell multiplies, this produces an increasing number of cells that will not die. The accumulation of these cells is referred to as cancer.
