Biology

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Cancer is formed when there are mutations in a number of genes.

Explanation:

Malignant tumors are gene diseases which do not mean that cancer is necessarily an inherited disease (only in 5-10% of cases the cancer is inherited) because the vast majority of other tumors are the result of somatic, ie secondary, mutations that lead to malignant transformation.

Only 2% of human diseases are monogenic (caused by a change in one gene). The remaining 98% of the disease is either polygenic (caused by a change in several genes at the same time) or epigenetic (caused by non-genetic or post-genetic disorders of cellular molecules).

Answer:

C. Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.

Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.

Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.

Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
