Answer:

<h2><em>Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy the body tissue. // Putting it into simple words, It’s an error caused in meiosis and cell division.</em></h2><h2 />

WELL here's what it does to your body... (please read all of it...thank u)

Let's start with what is cancer? Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer is caused by a mutation in DNA cells. The DNA inside a cell is packed into a large number of individual genes. Those genes in the cell, each contains a set of instructions telling the cells what types of functions to perform as well as how to grow and divide into more cells. Kind of like a little increased cell factory like system. Errors in the 'instructions' can cause the cell to stop its normal work and functionality and allow a cell to become cancerous.

Soo... gene mutations can instruct healthy cells to allow and naturalize excessive growth or rapid growth in cells to divide. So then all the new cells are infected and mutated. It can also fail to stop unhealthy rapid growth. Basically, cancer cells lose control in the factory and basically keep on spreading and growing an unhealthy amount till it gets deadly. Just kidding but basically thats what it means. AND gene mutations also make "mistakes" when they try to fix DNA errors. Which then are lead to turn into cancerous cells.

Now, what causes gene mutation? Gene mutation can be caused by one of many reasons. Two of the main reasons is being born fresh out your mommas womb. You could be born with a genetic gene mutation you most likely inherited from your parents. OR it could be caused by the enviroment you live in. Causes such as smoking, radiation, obesity, harmones, etc. and a lack of exercise. However, cells contain a mechanism that recognizes when a mistake occurs and repairs the mistake. But occasionally, a mistake is missed... which therefore results in a cell becoming cancerous.

MEANING:

Cancer is bad for your body. periodt.

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration

Explanation:

In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen. The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell. Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water.

Sea Daisies, a new class of echinoderm was discovered in 1986. They have the following characteristics: they look like sea stars

svetlana [45]

they were classified as echinoderms and not as a new phylum because they have the attribute of the echinoderm where they were seen as the sea stars without arms, they live in the deep ocean.

<h3>What is an echinoderms?</h3>

An echinoderm can be described as the any member that can be attributed to the phylum Echinodermata.

The members of this family can be seen as one that posses a recognisable radial symmetry which help in the process of their classification, and some of the members that fall into this caetegories are:

starfish
brittle stars
sea urchins
sand dollars
sea cucumbers
"stone lilies

It should be noted that the phylum can be seen as the level of classification or taxonomic rank that can be seen below kingdom.

In conclusion, the Sea Daisies which was thenew class of echinoderm that was discovered in 1986 can be classified as the echinoderm and not as phylum since they have the feautures of the echinoderm.
