Answer:
Oncogenes result from a mutation in proto-oncogenes.
Explanation:
- Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
- The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
- They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
- Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
- Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
- Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.
A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:
- A point mutation such as deletion, insertion and substitution in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
- Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
- Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
- Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.
Answer:
The correct answer - c. decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.
Explanation:
Mutation of Guanine nucleotide into Adenosine is the reason for this particular type of mutation. This mutation expresses the less expression of the VKORC1 protein.
The mutation results in a decrease in the affinity of the binding site of the transcription factor which causes less expression. Since the VKORC1 protein is less in the body so Warfarin doses are decreased
Thus, the correct answer is - decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.

Answer:
All living organisms are classified into groups based on very basic, shared characteristics. Organisms within each group are then further divided into smaller groups. This grouping system makes it easier for scientists to study certain groups of organisms
Explanation:
Organism that use light for their energy source and co2 for their carbon source are called photoautotrophs which are commonly known as prokaryotes.
