Answer:

Mutation is the alteration in the DNA base sequence in an organism.it may be due to chemical or environmental effect on the somatic cells..

Generally ,most cancers are caused by mutation in DNA components of abnormal cells.

Basically proto-oncogene is responsible for cell growth and cell division before mitosis in normal healthy cells;thus its codes for the main protein specific for cellular functions in normal cells. Therefore for mutation to occur mutations in mutiple genes is important. .

Basically 2 p53 alleles must be mutated,

2 BRCA1 allele must be mutated,

and 1 mutated allele of HER2 mus be mutated.

All these multiple mutations in these genes are needed.

Hey guys what’s the best way to memorize a science fair project? I have to present one tomorrow and I’m worried

Blababa [14]

practice with people (parents, friends, siblings) and ask them to ask questions during it so you can learn how to keep focus and memorization, or practice in front of stuffed animals. read it out loud on recording, then practice saying it with the recording without the words in front of you. you'll do great! :)

Answer:

Explanation:

I would say no because hormones usually travel long distances via blood. This question makes it seem like it is short distance and does not talk about how the secreted entity travels. So my bet is no.

Using the specific steps of the scientific method, tell me how you would use the scientific method to solve this problem: A fami

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific Research is a method used in the construction and testing of a scientific hypothesis.

It has six steps that can be used in solving questions ask or observations made which is A family wants to test the effectiveness of a misting shower head in conserving (saving) water compared to their regular shower head.

Steps to follow:

Make an observation: An observation would be made on how water is been used in the house and how it can be conserved, this observation is what brings about the question asked

Ask a question : The question is

which is more effective in conserving water a misting shower head or regular shower.

Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation: An hypothesis is formulated for the question asked

Example: Null hypothesis: Mistling shower conserves more water than shower head

Alternative: Mistling shower conserves less water that normal shower.

Make a prediction based on the hypothesis: Predictions are made on what could be the cause if there is indeed a difference and what could cause the difference

Test the prediction: An experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis if indeed Mistling is better than normal shower, the appropriate method is determined to be used for the experiment.

Iterate: The result gotten helps to butters our hypothesis if its to be acceoted or rejected. If rejected further research can be conducted on the effectiveness of normal shower in conserving water.
