Which statement correctly describes cancer formation?

Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]2 years ago
4 0

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).

29. What conditions would cause a molecule to diffuse from the outside of the structure shown to the inside?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The conditions that would cause a molecule to diffuse from outside to inside of a structure is a higher concentration of that molecule outside and the presence of a semipermeable membrane that facilitates its passage.

Explanation:

The process by which a molecule passes from a place where it is more concentrated where its concentration is lower - crossing a semipermeable membrane - is called simple diffusion.

<u>Simple diffusion is a mechanism that does not require energy and responds to a concentration gradient</u>. When a molecule is more concentrated in a space it can enter the space where it is less concentrated .

The cell membrane is an example of a semi-permeable membrane where the simple diffusion process occurs.

g the period of time that begins with contraction of the atria and ends with ventricular relaxation is known as: question 36 opt
Archy [21]

The period of time that begins with the contraction of the atria and ends with ventricular relaxation is known as the Cardiac cycle.

<h3>What is a cardiac cycle?</h3>

The cardiac cycle describes a whole heartbeat from its onset to the beginning of the following pulse. It consists of the diastole, systole, and the interval in between. Heart rate, which is naturally expressed as beats per minute, serves as an example of how a cardiac cycle occurs.

<h3>Cardiac Cycle Physiology</h3>

The left and right halves of the human heart's four chambers make up the body. The right and left ventricles are located in the lower two chambers, while the left and right atria are located in the two top chambers. Pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and the pulmonary trunk is the right ventricle's main job. While the left ventricle is in charge of pushing freshly oxygenated blood to the body through the aorta.
