This figure illustrates 3 hypotheses of how a cancer stem cell may arise: (1) A stem cell undergoes a mutation, (2) A progenitor cell undergoes two or more mutations, or (3) A fully differentiated cell undergoes several mutations that drive it back to a stem-like state.
The statement that best describes the moon's orbit around the Earth is <span>c. elliptical with a period of about one month. Although its orbit is elliptical, the moon's orbit can be described as nearly circular because it has an eccentricity of 0.05. Moreover, it takes around 27.322 days for it to orbit around the Earth once.</span>
A single insertion or deletion of a nucleotide will basically lead to a frameshift mutation where the “reading frame” is disrupted. Normally, amino acids are encoded by three nucleotides, called a codon.
