Somatic mutations are acquired after birth in non-reproductive cells. These changes occur in only certain cells of the body and can be caused by tobacco use, ultraviolet radiation, viruses, chemicals and age. Acquired mutations are the most common cause of cancer.
Humans experience many somatic mutations over a lifetime, and the human body is normally able to correct most of these changes. This is why there is only a small chance of one mutation causing cancer. It normally takes many mutations over a lifetime to cause cancer. This is why older people are the most likely group to get cancer, as they have had more chances for mutations to build up.
<span>The major difference between viruses and living cells is that viruses do not have nuclei while living cells do. A second major difference is that viruses need a host cell to survive while living cells do not. For the most part, viruses just contain genetic material (typically in the form of RNA) inside of a capsid. Living cells have many more organelles, including ribosomes and cytoplasm, which viruses lack.</span>
Answer:
it has the ability to turn off genes
It's either c or d but I'd say gamma
Explanation:
in DNA nitrogen bases are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine and in RNA nitrogen bases are same but instead of the thymine there's uracil
in DNA there are linked together adenine and thymine ; Guanine and cytosine. And in RNA adenine and uracil; Guanine and cytosine.
