nadya68 [22]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Heterotrophic microbes, bacteria

Explanation:

The chemical waste is digested in a treatment plant with the help of microbial action. The heterotrophic bacteria present in the waste serve in the process. These bacteria digest the organic matter present in the waste into simpler substances and thereby help in making the waste less polluting before its disposal into the environment.  

For example, methanogens anaerobically breakdown the organic matter present in the sewage and also produce useful biogas.

Abnormal chromosomes are frequently found in malignant tumors. Errors such as translocations may place a gene in close proximity
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

B) expression of inappropriate gene products

Explanation:

Most of the cancers are caused when a normal gene that code for one or other proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle is mutated. The mutated gene may cause the production of the faulty gene products. For example, the overproduction of products of the protooncogene that push cells through the cell cycle leads to tumor formation. Likewise, when the tumor suppressor genes are not able to produce enough product to prevent progression through the cell cycle, cancer may develop.
