How are the chromosomes different in the cancer cells compared to normal cells?

Biology
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Genomic Instability

Explanation:

Normal cells have normal DNA and a normal number of chromosomes. Cancer cells often have an abnormal number of chromosomes and the DNA becomes increasingly abnormal as it develops a multitude of mutations.In contrast to normal cells, cancer cells don't stop growing and dividing, this uncontrolled cell growth results in the formation of a tumor. Cancer cells have more genetic changes compared to normal cells, however not all changes cause cancer, they may be a result of it.

What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)
ratelena [41]
Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!

Which of the following correctly demonstrates how an anatomist and a physiologist might describe components of the eye?
stiks02 [169]
An anatomist studies the parts of the body by looking at the physical components of the that body part and identifying its functions. A physiologist looks at the mechanism at how a body part functions. The components of the eye according to an anatomist would be based on the different physical components of the eye while to a physiologist, the components would be based on the functions.

If you looked at unknown cells under a microscope, what could lead you to correctly conclude that they are prokaryotic cells
Scilla [17]
The main difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell is that the prokaryotic cell have no true nucleus instead its genetic material is just suspended in its cytoplasm termed as nucleoid. The nucleus when viewed under the microscope is a membrane bound which is easily distingushable compared to the nucleoid. 

Another distinguishing feature is that prokaryotic cells are usually smaller than eukaryotic cells.

Explain how you would potentially treat cells that are either hypertonic or hypotonic. why would your solution work ?​
o-na [289]

Answer:

Hypertonic is normalize by hypotonic solution.

Explanation:

We will treat cells that are either hypertonic or hypotonic by giving solution that is opposite to that solution. If the patient is dehydrated so their blood is considered as hypertonic solution. They will need an opposite solution i. e. hypotonic solution in order to bring their tonicity back to the normal range while on the other hand, if the body is hypotonic so the hypertonic solution is needed to maintain homeostasis in the body.
