The correct answer is C. A figure from Greek myth.

Explanation:

In astronomy, a constellation refers to a group of stars that form a specific figure, for example, Orion constellation in the image includes 7 stars and many other secondary stars that form a specific shape or figure. Additionally, constellations that are officially recognized have a proper name. In the case of Orion constellation, this was named after Orion who was a giant in Greek mythology. Orion the giant appears in The Odyssey by Homer and multiple mythical texts. Also, the constellation was named Orion because in one myth it is claimed Orion was sent to the sky by Zeus, who was a god in Greek myth. Thus, the constellation was named after a figure from Greek myth.

Aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is metabolised in the presence of oxygen and leads to the formation of energy as a main product. the by products are carbon dioxide and water. The process takes place in four phases: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Cancer cells are rogue clones. List and describe three mutations that allow these cells to escape the normal restrictions placed

Amanda [17]

<span>Cells control cell division in order to maintain normal cell function. If something happens to the control of the cell division, the healthy cells will divide uncontrollably. These new cells are cancer cells. </span>
The mutations in three genes are responsible for development of cancers:
1. Mutation in proto-oncogenes. Proto-oncogenes normally signal cells to grow and differentiate. Proto-oncogenes can become oncogenes due to mutations which result in the uncontrollable division of the cells.
2. Mutation in tumor suppressor genes. In normal cells, tumor suppressor genes suppress genes essential for cell cycle and that way they prevent uncontrollable cell division. However, after a mutation in these genes, suppression is lost and the cell may progress to cancer.
3. Mutation in stability genes. In normal cells, they have no role either in cell death or growth, but they control mutation rate. Mutation in stability genes results in situation where all genes, including proto-oncogenes and tumor suppression genes, are more frequently mutated.

In 3–5 sentences, describe the matter that is considered baryonic matter, explain why it is in this category, and compare and co

Bess [88]

Answer:

By definition, baryonic matter should only include matter composed of baryons. In other words, it should include protons, neutrons and all the objects composed of them (i.e. atomic nuclei), but exclude things such as electrons and neutrinos which are actually leptons. since on astronomical scales, protons and neutrons are always accompanied by electrons (in appropriate numbers for astronomical objects to possess all but zero net charge). Astronomers therefore use the term ‘baryonic’ to refer to all objects made of normal atomic matter, essentially ignoring the presence of electrons which, after all, represent only ~0.0005 of the mass. Neutrinos, on the other hand, are (correctly) considered non-baryonic by astronomers.

<span>In order for this gene to be useful in differentiating different salmon breeds, the specific coi gene sequences must be either found or absent in all individuals of a breed, be about the same among individual breeds unless a mutation is found in an individual, and different from the coi gene sequences of other breeds. If the coi gene is found to be the same between two or more salmon breeds, then another gene will be necessary in order to differentiate between breeds.</span>
