What are some future treatments that are on the horizon?it about Cancer

Biology

kkurt [141]3 years ago

Answer:

New discoveries in the treatment of cancer do not only centre on conventional medicine. In our haste to get to grips with a cure for cancer, natural products may be overlooked and dismissed in the fight against such an aggressive disease.

In December, the Academy of General Dentistry reported that a new study had found that simply swishing green tea around the mouth halts the growth of new oral cancer cells and breaks down and kills existing oral cancer cells. The antioxidants (polyphenols) in the tea work to remove the free radicals or oxidants and prevent gene mutations, and as an added bonus, the polyphenols can kill cancerous cells without harming normal cells and inhibiting their growth. Similarly, a chemical found in tomatoes may prevent or treat oral cancer and one derived from soybeans has been found to shrink abnormal growths that lead to cancer. While these are not cures, their activity may in the future lead to therapies that compliment conventional treatment modalities.

Perhaps combining ancient remedies with Western scientific advances is the way forward to finding an effective cure for cancer. Combrestatin – a cancer-fighting drug made from the bark of an African tree – is performing with dramatic effects in tests. The active ingredient extracted from the bark attacks the blood vessels that grow with tumors, while leaving normal blood vessels alone.

This would mean a change in base sequence, which is very important for the proteins to carry out their function. It could lead to a mutation and a change in the role of the protein.

Organization is one of the characteristics of life. Explain how your observations under the magnifying glass support this idea.
seraphim [82]

Answer:

All living things are made up of cells. Cells are building blocks of life. Cells are the simplest level of organization. The structure of multicellular organisms are made up of many parts that are required for survival of organisms. The level of organization in multicellular organisms includes: cells, tissues, organs and organ system. The organization is necessary for the body of the organisms to function properly as a characteristic feature of living being.

Magnifying glass is a convex lens that is fitted in a microscope can be used to magnify the image of object under observation. A magnifying glass in a microscope can be used to magnify minute cells and small living creatures. All cells aggregate to form tissues. It can be used to see the arrangement of cells in a tissue specimen and small organelles like chloroplast, mitochondria, nucleus and others.

Therefore, observations under the magnifying glass support  the idea of organization is one of the characteristics of life.

Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?
mamaluj [8]
Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

When studying heredity what is the relationship of DNA bases and traits?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Heredity is the study of how traits are passed from parents to offsprings through reproduction. Off springs cells acquire the genetic information from their parents. DNA bases (A,G,C,T) determine the nucleotides that will constitute the mRNA, the mRNA nucleotides determines the codons which codes for certain amino acids. The amino acids join during translation and form peptides that then join to form proteins. These proteins include enzymes that catalyses chemical reactions for example pigments of skin and hair color are produced by enzymes. Hence, proteins highly determine the traits acquired by a given organisms and therefore, variation in a gene in terms of the bases greatly affect the proteins formed hence influencing the traits of the organisms.
