Answer: Can be inherited, acquired with age after many rounds of cell division, caused by exposure to radiation
⬇ Explanation(s): ⬇
Exposure to Radiation: Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome (“radiation sickness"). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Cell Division: Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. ... During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Cancer is the abnormal growth of the cells and can be due to genetic mutation. These mutations can be caused by inheritance, exposure to radiation, and age. Thus, options a, b, and c are correct.
What is the cause of cancer?Cancer is a disease where the cells have lost the ability to stop cell division resulting in the accumulation and uncontrolled growth leading to tumors. Cancers are caused by genetic mutations.
The mutations can be inherited if they are in the germinal cells and can be passed to the offspring. The radiations like exposure to UV can alter the DNA sequence as they are mutagens.
It can also be caused due to the increase in age as the cell division is affected by age and the mechanism may fail or mutate resulting in uncontrolled cell growth.
Therefore, options a. inheritance, b. acquired with age, and c. exposure to radiation is the cause of genetic mutation.

The diagrams show what happens to the shape of a plant cell place in distilled water. Explain why the cell swells and becomes turgid. Name the process involved.
Answer:
the name of the process should be osmosis
Explanation: Reason being that plant cells are hypertonic because they have a cell sap so when they are pout in distilled water which is a hypotonic solution, it then absorbs water by osmosis and swells up and become turgid. But they do not burst because they have a cell wall that develops a wall pressure that balances the turgor pressure exerted by turgid cells

“How might an energy requirement affect an individual who has a cancerous tumour?”
Answer:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function. Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose (like a stretched rubber band), and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released. Some of it is captured in a form that can be used to do work in cells - a molecule called adenosine triphosphate or ATP. The energy that is not captured in ATP is usually given off as heat (one of the things that helps us maintain our normal body temperature).

Newton's first law of motion states that an objects motion remains the same unless a force acts upon it. What would be an example of this law in action? *
A good example would be a ball rolling along a flat surface. Since the ball is circular it will roll for a while but will stop after some distance. The force that caused this ball to stop is called friction. There are other things like air resistence but that is still considered friction. If you don't understand anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
For Example the net force for the box of frozen burritos would be zero if the rightward force was 45 Newtons and the leftward force was 45 Newtons. If the burrito box started moving at a constant speed before the forces were applied, it would either continue to move or remain at rest. If it was already at rest before the forces were applied, it would remain at rest.
What is the first law of motion ?
The first law of motion : Unless acted upon by a net external force, an object at rest remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity when in motion.An external force is one that comes from outside an object rather than one that comes from within an object. An external force on the moon is, for instance, the gravitational pull of Earth on the moon. However, the moon's internal force is the gravitational pull that the moon's inner core exerts on its outer crust. An object's overall motion cannot be altered by its own internal forces.Inertia refers to a body's ability to remain stationary or in motion at a constant speed. The "law of inertia" is a common name for Newton's first law. Experience has taught us that some things have more inertia than others. It is evidently more challenging to alter a basketball's motion than a large boulder's is.The mass of an object is used to determine its inertia. By measuring an object's acceleration difficulty, mass can be determined. Accelerating an object becomes more difficult the more mass it possesses.To know more about first law of motion check this:

and Golgi apparatus.
3. What is the main difference between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
4. Describe the three types of vesicles.
Answer: 1 Lysosomes and peroxisomes, Microtubules, Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondria
2 The role of the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell is to control the cell. Because it contains most of the cell's DNA, which is encoded with genetic instructions, the nucleus controls which proteins the cell makes.
3 The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface. This is what give the RER a "rough" appearance. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not contain ribosomes. The Smooth ER looks more like tubes. The SER helps in the storage of proteins and lipids.
4 Secretory vesicles contain materials that are to be excreted from the cell, such as wastes or hormones.
Transport vesicles move molecules within the cells.

B) Nuclear envelope
C) Nucleic Acid
D) Capsid
Answer:
C) Nucleic Acid
D) Capsid
Explanation:
A virus is structure that is dependent on a living host to replicate itself. Viruses are majorly pathogenic in nature and have a structure that is made up of two parts namely: nucleic acid and capsid.
The nucleic acid, which can either be RNA or DNA holds the genetic information of the virus while the capsid is a protein coat that enclosed and protects the virus' genetic material. The capsid is also used during the infection life cycle of a virus where it helps the virus to attach to receptor cells on the host's cell membrane.

What makes mitochondrial DNA useful as a molecular clock? (2 points)
It is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
A large portion of the DNA ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations.
Its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other.
A slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species.
Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA is useful as a molecular clock because it displays uniparental inheritance
Why is it possible that two ecosystems with identical conditions of temperature and precipitation, could support different plants?

What is the function of erythrocytes?
What is the term for all the components of the blood?
What is blood?
Answer:
1. The main physiological role of red blood cells (RBCs), or erythrocytes is to transport of gases (O2, CO2) from the lung to the tissues and to maintain systemic acid/base equilibria. In addition, RBCs are well equipped with antioxidant systems, which essentially contribute to their function and integrity.
2. In humans, it includes plasma (the liquid portion), blood cells (which come in both red and white varieties), and cell fragments called platelets. Plasma is the main component of blood and consists mostly of water, with proteins, ions, nutrients, and wastes mixed in.
3.Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Answer:
ribosome -> ER -> Golgi -> released
Explanation:
Ribosomes are where proteins are created, ribosomes are located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). From the ER, proteins will be transported to the Golgi Complex for packaging, transport, and release. The answers with lysosome can be ignored because lysosomes break down waste materials of the cell. Therefore the answer is ribosome -> ER -> Golgi -> released.

how many layers are in earth atmosphere ?
The Earth’s atmosphere is layered and each layer of the atmosphere has its own specific traits. The atmosphere of Earth is divided into four layers as Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Thermosphere
Generally, temperatures decrease with increasing height because the atmosphere distributes itself according to gravity. In the troposphere, the temperature generally decreases with altitude. The reason is the troposphere's gases absorb very little of the incoming solar radiation.
Troposphere - temperature decreases with altitude
Mesosphere - temperature decreases with altitude
The temperature increases with increasing altitude in the stratosphere because there’s a high concentration of ozone molecules.

d) Based on your above answers, do all substitutions cause a change in the amino acid sequence of a
protein? Explain
Answer:
No, they do not all cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.
Explanation:
Substitution mutation is the type of mutation that results when the nucleotide base of a gene is replaced by another base in the sequence. A substitution mutation can result into three different types of mutation namely; silent mutation, missense mutation, and nonsense mutation.
- In silent mutation, the nucleotide base that gets replaced by another still forms a codon that encodes the same amino acid as in the original sequence. e.g if guanine replaces adenine in the sequence, TTA to form a mutated sequence, TTG. This mutated codon (TTG) still encodes LEUCINE amino acid just as TTA does. Hence, there is no effect on the resulting amino acid sequence. This portrays that NOT ALL SUBSTITUTIONS cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.

What kind of seeds should farmers plants in order to grow giant pumpkins,and why is this important?
Answer:
Pumpkin plants need a lot of sun. Choose the sunniest place you have; remember that pumpkins are sensitive and will need shelter from wind and frost. Try to protect pumpkins from the worst of the elements by covering them during heavy rains, or putting up some kind of barrier to protect the vines from high winds or using shade tents during summer’s hottest days.
Pumpkins like and need a lot of water, but don't plant pumpkins in wet or dense soil. They need good, well-drained soil. You can dig it up by hand. Don’t use a tractor, pumpkin roots don’t go down very far. Prepare the soil in early spring, as soon as the ground is warm. Fertilize the patch with a good four inches of rotting cow manure. Pumpkins do best in soil that is slightly acid or nearly neutral.
If you live in a part of the country where there is still danger of frost in late April or early May, start pumpkin seeds indoors about two weeks before planting. Sow one seed for every four-inch peat pot filled with grow mix. Keep the pots watered, never let them dry out.
How to Plant Pumpkins
When seedlings have the fourth or fifth leaf, set them outdoors in hills about the size of a pitcher s mound, one plant to a hill. Protect pumpkin seedlings the first few weeks with plastic-covered frames. Space each hill at least 20 feet apart.

How to Fertilize Pumpkin Plants
Pumpkin plants have two kinds of flowers, male and female, which appear in early July. The male flowers show up first, followed by the females. Look out for the first female flowers. Look for vines to be strong and well-established before letting a female flower set fruit. It might help to break off the first female on each vine and wait for the second or third, when the vines are at least ten feet long. A female is easy to recognize: she has a baby pumpkin at the base of each flower.
You need a big vine to produce a big pumpkin, so in a sense you’re choosing the vine before the pumpkin. When you find a vine that’s strong enough and a female flower on the verge of opening, put a bag of cheesecloth over it for the night to keep the insects out. The next morning pick a fresh male bloom, trim off the corolla or outer petals, and rub the pollen-laden stamen in around the center of the newly opened female bloom.
How to Grow Pumpkins
Giant pumpkinsThis is just the beginning of a summer of long but rewarding work. What you have started is actually a pumpkin-producing factory. Remember that there are 100 or more leaves to each vine and if you are trying to grow a 300-pound pumpkin, each leaf is responsible for up to four pounds of weight in your pumpkin. Every leaf, every stem, every hair roots is now receiving sunlight, absorbing water, and blending nutrients. All are traveling down the all-important stem to your prize pumpkin.
Giant pumpkins balloon out from the vine and if precautions are not taken, they will tear away and lose touch with their all-important stem. Since vines put out roots at every leaf, tear out the roots of the vine where it is close to the pumpkin. This will give it free room to grow without damage to the vine. Gently train vines away from the pumpkin to prevent it from crushing them, try giving them a nudge in the right direction every day.
When two or three fruits on each plant reach the size of softballs, remove all but the most promising one and start to prune the pumpkin plants. After the primary vine has reached 20 feet, pinch off the tips and the side shoots so the vines won't divert resource from the fruit. Break off all the other female flowers A potential prizewinner is forming. The work of the plant now must go entirely toward nurturing this fruit alone.
It is important to remember that the only thing that will increase the size of the fruit comes out of the vines and the vines must get support from the natural root. For growing really big pumpkins, the most important things to remember are seeds, soil, sunshine, and water.
By mid-August the plants are pulling in water and nutrients at a great rate. Nighttime is when pumpkins do their growing, most expand two inches in circumference every night.
If it’s a dry season, give each plant 15 to 20 gallons of water twice a week. Water in the evening, and water only the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry, which reduces the risk of disease.
