<span>Proto-oncogenes are genes that normally help cells grow. When a proto-oncogenemutates (changes) or there are too many copies of it, it becomes a "bad" gene thatcan become permanently turned on or activated when it is not supposed to be. When this happens, the cell grows out of control, which can lead to cancer.....Is this what you need ?</span>

Name two nutrients that plants need.
artcher [175]

Answer:

Sunlight and water.

Explanation:

The sun is the plant's most important nutrient. Plants convert sunlight into sugars in order to grow. Water is needed in two ways, it serves as both a solvent for mineral salts that are carried inside plant cells, and it is an essential component of photosynthesis. The questioner might have asked "name one" so they don't have enough information to answer with any greater certainty - but the answer remains the same regardless of how many nutrients they ask about.

Minerals are also required by plants in order to function properly including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium just to name a few minerals which are found in healthy nutritious produce!

Leokris [45]

Answer:

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

DNA polymerase I is present in E.coli that are responsible for the prokaryotic DNA replication. The DNA polymerase I was discovered by Arthur Kornberg. This enzyme is coded by the gene polA.

DNA polymerase I has the activites of  DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, DNA-dependent DNA polymerase and RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The  RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is generally present in the reverse transcriptase in case of viruses only. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalytic site is not present in DNA polymerase I.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
