Cancer cells are normal body cells that do not stop growing, when they over produce it causes an imbalance in the body.
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago

Answer:

The cells themselves aren't harmful it's what they do. A cancer cell divides at a very fast rate. Cancer cells are unhealthy/bad and don’t help your organs to function. Cancer wouldn’t have been a problem, but these cells don’t die like a normal cell. Cancer doesn’t cause death. Cancer cells don’t help your organs to function, and that’s why most patients die from organ failures…Cancer cells have damaged DNA, which does not give the action to stop dividing. Cancer just wants to divide, and it won’t stop untill all your billions of cells are cancerous.

Why must zebras and wildebeests fill different niches on the open plains and woodlands of africa?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The occupation of different niches on the open plains and woodlands of Africa by the zebras and the wildebeests is a result of niche partitioning. The zebras and the wildebeests in a common niche would compete for food, water, shelter, and space. This competition would affect the population growth of the two species by negatively affecting their reproductive capabilities. Thus, in the same habitat, the two species choose to occupy two different niches such that the competition between them is minimised. Hence they end up in separate niches.

Svetlanka [38]
<h2>Neural crest </h2>

Explanation:

The neural crest likely forms: neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system

  • The neural crest are bilaterally paired strips of cells arising in the ectoderm at the margins of the neural tube
  • In the body region, neural crest cells also contribute the peripheral nervous system (both neurons and glia) consisting of sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia), sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and neural plexuses within specific tissues/organs
  • The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which includes nerve cells (or neurons) and glial cells (or glia)
  • Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances
  • Glia are also essential to nervous system function, but they work mostly by supporting the neurons

A species has 2n = 16 chromosomes. how many chromosomes would be found in...
Nastasia [14]
I presume your question is, how many chromosomes would be found in the resulting daughter cells of meiosis?

If parent cell has 16 chromosomes, the first division in Meiosis of the cell will result in 8 chromosomes, and the second division (I.e. the separation of the sister chromatids of the 8 chromosomes) results in 8 daughter chromosomes.

The number of chromosomes in each cell resulting from meiosis is 8.

Hope this helps! :)
