Chemotherapy is a term which we usually related to the treatment of cancer. In cancer the malignant cell keeps on dividing themselves and   also infect the near by cell to enter into a phase of no restrictive division. In chemotherapy, a drug or medicine either individually or in combination with other medicines is either directly introduced in the blood or is injected only on the targeted cell. The chemotherapy interacts with the cell division process of the cell directly or indirectly. In the direct process the cell division process either mitosis or meiosis is impaired or the essential hormones or enzymes required for cell divisions are attacked through cytotoxic drug. It also inhibits cell division through apoptosis strategy where the cancerous cell starts dividing themselves. The chemotherapy process is to be done regularly over a certain period of time. Usually the treatment course occurs from a day to few weeks’ time. The dosage of chemical is given either orally or injected into the body fluid or either through intravenously.

Apart from benefits there can be several side effects of chemotherapy:

a) A patient may get pucky feelings and in some cases may have nausea or vomiting

b) There are also chances of hair loss.

c) It can also adversely affect the skin, as it may get dry or oversensitive.  

d) The blood platelet count may decrease

e) There can be chances of  hearing and vision impairment.

Do cnidarians have an endoskeleton, exoskeleton, or no skeleton?
Sav [38]
In medusae, mesoglea comprises the bulk of the animal and forms a resilient skeleton. In polyps, the water-filled coelenteron acts as a hydrostatic skeleton, which, in concert with the mesoglea, maintains the form of these animals. Muscles in cnidarians are extensions of the bases of ectodermal and endodermal cells.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: C. Miller and Urey showed that inorganic compounds could combine  to form the building blocks of living cells.

Explanation:

The Miller and Urey were the two scientists who created the atmospheric conditions that were expected to be present on primitive earth. They demonstrated that several organic compounds have been formed spontaneously from the inorganic compounds like water, ammonia, methane and others.

The exposure of mixture of inorganic compounds by the lightening lead to the formation of organic molecules like amino acids which are the building blocks of life. This was similar to the penetration of earth atmosphere by UV radiation producing the organic compounds from inorganic molecules.

C

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
