A cell accumulates several mutations in the genes that regulate its cell cycle. As a result, the cell no longer responds to inte
Oksanka [162]

ANSWER: CANCER DEVELOPMENT

EXPLANATION:

Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are genes that regulates the cell cycle of a cell (i.e the cell division and replication). In other words, TSGs encodes protein that act as control or regulator of cell growth.

However, when there is an alteration in the genetic sequence (mutation) of the TSGs, this make the cell not to respond to cues that had been regulating it growth.

Thus, when cell growth is not regulated, it results to runaway or abnormal cell growth (i.e multiple folds cell division and replication), in other word referred to as “cancer”.

The technique psychologists use to measure electrical activity in the brain is 1. EEG 2. Lesion 3. FMri 4. CAT Scan 5. PET Scan
posledela

Answer:

The correct answer is 1. EEG.

EEG or electroencephalography is a technique used to measure the electrical activity of the brain.

8 to 16 pairs of electrodes are placed on the scalp which record the electrical activity or impulses (in volts) generated by thousands of neurons or nerve cells present in the brain.

It provides the real-time imaging of the electrical activity of the brain.

The recorded impulses are first sent to the amplifier as the magnitude of the brain's electrical impulses is very low.

The amplifier then amplifies the results and show it on the screen in the form of voltage units.

Describe a DNA mutation and how it can affect an offspring.
Greeley [361]
A DNA mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. DNA mutations can affect an offspring can result in abnormal protein products. Mutations can also introduce new alleles into a population of organisms and increase the population's genetic variation.
