Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 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).

Let’s think about this, we can already cross out D because that is the small intestine’s function, that isn’t a picture of the small intestine.

We can also cross out A for the answers because the gallbladder is the organ that creates bile and that once again isn’t the picture of that organ.

That leaves C and B.

The stomach produces pepsin and makes hydrochloric acid, this isn’t a picture of the stomach, so that leaves you with C.


The answer to your question is C, since this is a picture of the pancreas, and the pancreas’ job is to produce enzymes that breaks down carbohydrates.

The land on the leeward side of a mountain range is in a rain shadow.<br> (True or False question)
Dmitry [639]
<span>The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.</span>
