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).

Axonal transport is of 2 types:

  1. Anterograde: Transport material from the soma towards the axon.
  2. Retrograde: Transport materia from axon towards soma.

Pathology :

  1. Virus enters tissue from saliva of biting animal.
  2. Virus replicates in muscle near bite.
  3. Virus moves to peripheral nervous system to CNS.
  4. Virus ascends the spinal cord.
  5. Virus reaches brain and causes fatal encephalitis.
