For example, the TP53 tumor suppressor gene is a driver gene, but it is only functional when both alleles of her TP53 gene are mutated. Furthermore, mutations can act as drivers only at certain stages of cancer.

Doss [256]
No this virus does not follow the Central Dogma of Biology. The Central Dogma refers to the process involved in cellular replication starting from the replication of DNA, followed by transcription of DNA to RNA, and finally translation of RNA to proteins.

Viruses are special because they hijack cells and use the cell's own mechanisms in order for it replicate. Retroviruses are even more special because they go against the unidirectional flow of the Central Dogma. This is done with the use of their <em>reverse transcriptase.</em>

Explanation:

The learning laws  were first proposed by Edward Thorndike, a famous psychologist. According to him, there are three rules of learning, they are- readiness of learning, exercise of learning and effect of it.  

To make learning lasting and interesting one should always follow these rules. Readiness states- that learning can be adopted only if the learner is ready to, this can be done by arising their interest on the topic by some pre-activity and making them understand that learning is essential; Exercise states: that the more you revise the more you memorise, it involves consistent practice; law of Effect says: learning can be strong and interesting if its associated with satisfying feeling and is weak when associated with unsatisfying feeling.
