Results showed that people with nonmelanoma skin cancer were at an increased risk of developing the deadly skin cancer melanoma, and that women with nonmelanoma skin cancer were at increased risk of lung cancer and breast cancer, according to the study. Common sites for metastases include the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones and brain. Melanoma tumors that have metastasized to other parts of the body are still considered melanoma. For example, melanoma found in the lungs is called metastatic melanoma of the lung or melanoma with lung metastases. Skin cancer is the out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, caused by unrepaired DNA damage that triggers mutations. These mutations lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. Hope this helps!

Answer: The cancer of the skin metastasizes into the lymph joints (spreads), and they run everywhere in the body, dropping bad cells when they go. the lungs are super vascular (carry a lot of blood flow), and so is the organ. Therefore, they are favorite places for the cancer cells to end up and grow.

After incubation, you observe that your streak-plate has heavy, uniform growth but no isolated colonies. Which of the following

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option 3 and 4 are most likely correct

Explanation:

Option 3: We know that area 1 would contain heavy streaking and not single colonies. Therefore, if the loop crosses area 3 and enters area 1, it will definitely result in heavy streaking again.

Option 4: We always need to sterilize properly the loop when streaking in different areas. If we don't do it, it is possible that the loop contains a lot of bacteria that would be streaked again.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because, according to question, there is a uniform growth but no isolated colonies. So, contamination or mixed culture would not produce uniform growth streaking rather mixed with other bacterial types.

How can organism's be so unique if the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same between organism's?

Masja [62]

Every organism is unique, even though the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same, because the structure is different in every organism. In other words, it's just the order in which nucleotides are placed that differs each organism from one another.

Hunting is a form of artificial selection. Defend or refute this statement based on the principles of artificial selection

shtirl [24]

Hunting IS NOT a form of artificial selection because it is not a form of breeding. Artificial selection refers to the intentional breeding of plants or animals. An example would be a thoroughbred racehorses, because they were selectively bred.
