A man who heavily smokes has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, ma
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children

Explanation:

Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.

Part 1 - Pick one abiotic factor and change it dramatically. (Example: remove it completely or increase it A lot)
zubka84 [21]
1. Water is abioitic and is needed by every living organism Soil is abioitic and is needed by plants Trees and other plants release water vapor from their leaves (a process called transpiration) that create humidity (which in turn influences how much rain falls in an area) The climate in an area influences the special adaptations that plants and animals have. For example: warm fur coats and thick layers of fat to keep warm in cold climates, animals in dry, hot climates (desert) have large ears to release heat and cool down. Biotic factors also influence abiotic factors. Animals produce waste (go to the bathroom) which in turn will become nutrients in the soil.
2. decrease heat will affect biotic factors, like animals, warmth.

Hope this helped :)
