Answer:

G1/S checkpoint

Explanation:

G1/S checkpoint is one of the points in the cell cycle, between growth phase 1 and DNA synthesis phase, where a cell that has been damaged is sensed by DNA repair enzymes and further degraded by apoptosis. In cancer cells, there is mutation in these DNA repair enzymes and thus nothing to correct the cells from dividing even when damaged and thus there is no arrest of division and cells continue dividing

Answer:

A ( spindle assembly checkpoint)

B ( G1/S Checkpoint)

Explanation:

Transitions between phases of the cell cycle are controlled by checkpoints.

This process is regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases and tumor suppressors.

A defect at any of these internal checkpoints would result in mutation that would lead to the formation of abnormal cells.

Answer:

Option (3).

Explanation:

Teratogens may be defined as the chemicals that can cause birth defects in the fetus. Substances like alcohol, lead and nicotine acts as the main agents of tertaogens.

Shamona is drinking water that contains high level of lead. The element lead is harmful for the fetus. Even the small concentration of lead is enough to cause birth defects. The lead exposure can cause the abnormal development of brain and damages the brain of fetus. The fetus has low birth weight also.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Explain how foods move through the digestive system, describing the actions of the organs, muscles, and digestive secretions alo
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Foods are ingested by the mouth where they are chewed by the teeth and savored by the taste buds present in the tongue. In the mouth, saliva breaks down food into substances that are easier to digest. Subsequently, the pharynx allows food to be swallowed and it pushes the food into the esophagus, the contractions of the esophageal muscle allow the movement of the food through the esophagus and to the stomach where the food is mixed with the  juices and are mostly digested. In the stomach nutrients are absorbed. There are particles that are not absorb and they pass to the intestine where other nutrients are transported to the blood, then pass to the large interstinum where there is water absorption and stool formation that are expelled through the rectum.
