Cancerous tumors are removed so that they do not metastasize. Some cancers are even curable if they are caught early. At other times both cancerous and benign tumors will be removed if they interfere with the function of an organ in some way. Sometimes a tumor may be removed for the purposes of a biopsy. Physicians may not always remove tumors. In many cases of metastatic cancer, the removal of a tumor is of no medical benefit.

Hope this helps. :D

B=black and b=brown. A Bb guinea pig crosses with a Bb guinea pig, and four offspring are produced. All of the offspring are bla

Sladkaya [172]

If two Bb guinea pigs cross, there are four possible outcomes:

both pass the B: the son is BB
one of the pass the B and the other pass the b: the son is Bb
both pass the b: the son is bb

Since B (being black) is dominant, the son will be black in both BB and Bb cases. In order for a son to be brown, he must be a pure bb specimen.

So, if all of the offspring are black, it means that all four guinea pigs are either BB or Bb, which in turn means that at least one of the parents passed the B gene.

Answer:
