Answer:

<u>3) Uncontrolled cell division occurred as a result of gene mutations</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Spontaneous modifications within the genome may occur during the process of cell division. When copies of the DNA inside the cell are made, these mutations cause errors; and can include small single nucleotide polymorphisms, and large scale additions or deletions across multiple genes.

Some, like somatic mutations, exist only inside vegetative (body) cells, that cannot be passed onto offspring. This is caused by several factors like

  • UV radiation,
  • chemical mutagens,
  • infective agents

UV radiation damages strands of DNA, by causing dimers to form; here, consecutive nucleotide bases covalently bond instead of those on the complementary strand. This conformational change causes errors in DNA proofreading and repair mechanisms where bases are not well-incorporated into the strand- tumors (clumps of uncontrolled cell growth) may form, resulting in melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

How was the naming of organisms different before Carolus Linnaeus, and how was the system difficult for scientists PLEASEEE ANSW
cluponka [151]
How was the naming of organisms different before carolus Linnaeus: Before Linnaeus came up with a standardized system of naming, there were often many names for a single species, and these names tended to be long and confusing. Linnaeus decided that all species names should be in Latin and should have two parts. Remember, this 2-part system is called binomial nomenclature///////.
