Assessing biodiversity:
Helen [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of the biological entities present in an ecosystem. Biodiversity has a wide spectrum which not only includes the number of the diversity of the organism but also the interaction between them.

The biodiversity is assessed to study the changes that are taking place in an ecosystem, to study the causes and how the changes affect the human well being.

The assessment decisions ignore the personal interests and the biasness as the aim of the approach is not fulfil the personal needs but to maintain sustainable management of the ecosystem.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Abnormal chromosomes are frequently found in malignant tumors. Errors such as translocations may place a gene in close proximity
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

B) expression of inappropriate gene products

Explanation:

Most of the cancers are caused when a normal gene that code for one or other proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle is mutated. The mutated gene may cause the production of the faulty gene products. For example, the overproduction of products of the protooncogene that push cells through the cell cycle leads to tumor formation. Likewise, when the tumor suppressor genes are not able to produce enough product to prevent progression through the cell cycle, cancer may develop.
