The BRCA1 gene mutation is a mutation of a gene that suppresses cancer. Therefore, those  mutations, when we can detect them, tell us that a persona is likely to develop cancer and can undertake some preventive measures, such as a preventive mastectomy.

It can be seen as an example of a disease that is predictable and which is changed through social practices - our social practices (prevention) change how this gene is expressed (it no longer necessarily lead to cancer)

you are given samples of the substances shown in the table the samples are labeled a b c at room temperature sample a is a solid
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The sample a which is solid at 20°C is "Iodine"

The sample b which is liquid at 20°C is "Bromine"

The sample c which is gas at 20°C is "Chlorine"

Explanation:

Iodine : It starts melting at 113.7°C, so the solid sample found is the iodine. Iodine is present in both solid as well as in vapor state.  Basically it is kept in closed jars. Only when it reaches the temperature above the melting point is starts melting.

Bromine: It is a non metallic element that is present in the liquid state, being a member of halogen group. It is heavy, mobile and dangerous reddish brown liquid. It is corrosive in nature, when comes in contact with human tissue and causes irritation in eye when comes in contact with its vapor.

Chlorine: In room temperature it is gas, as it has weak intermolecular interaction which fails to keep the molecules closely attached.

Living cells require constant access to energy in order to remain alive. Which statement BEST describes why cells need a constan
docker41 [41]

Answer:

D) Energy is required in order to maintain homeostasis--without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the condition of relative stability that the body needs to perform its functions properly for the body's balance.

Despite changes that may occur in the body, internally or externally, homeostasis is the constancy of the internal environment (interstitial fluid). Keeping at an appropriate temperature (37º C) ensuring that the necessary changes to the body occur; and thus the cells of the body develop.

Because of homeostasis, cells need a constant supply of energy. That's because energy is needed to maintain homeostasis - without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

Which unit of measurement is used in the metric system?
Ymorist [56]
The metric system uses meters to describe distance, which is comparable to a yard in the imperial system (the one we use). Inches, miles, and gallons are all units of the imperial system, and would be centimeters, kilometers, and liters in the metric system.
