<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>

Yes if this type of gene becomes mutated  it can turn into to a cancerous tumor.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement c.

Explanation:

The procedure of the development of bones from hyaline cartilage is known as endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification transforms hyaline cartilage into true bones, that is, hyaline cartilage functions as a template for the formation of bones. All the bones of the body, except for the mandible, flat bones of the skull, and clavicles are produced via endochondral ossification.

In a mating between IV-2 and IV-5, what is the chance that the child produced would have both nail-patella syndrome and alkapton
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The chance that the child produced would have nail-patella syndrome from this mating is 1/8 (12.5%) and the chance that the child has alkaptonuria is zero (0%). It is a case of recessive phenotypes.

<h3>Pedigree and genetic inheritance</h3>

The answer is incomplete, but I have now included the Figure to answer it. The vertical lines indicate nail-patella syndrome, while horizontal lines indicate alkaptonuria.

Pedigree is a diagram showing the genealogical relationships in different individuals, which is usually used to represent the inheritance pattern of a given phenotype.

In this case, the nail-patella syndrome and alkaptonuria are recessive phenotypes, which means that individuals may be heterozygous carriers but they need to have both mutated alleles to express each condition.

In the pedigree, it is possible to observe that the individual IV5 expresses both syndromes (nail-patella syndrome and alkaptonuria), whereas there is a 1/8 chance that the individual IV2 is a carrier of the nail-patella syndrome.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Diatoms are mostly asexual members of the phytoplankton. Diatoms lack any organelles that might have the 9 + 2 pattern. They obtain their nutrition from functional chloroplasts, and each diatom is encased within two porous, glasslike valves. Which question would be most important for one interested in the day-to-day survival of individual diatoms?

C) How do diatoms with their glasslike valves keep from sinking into poorly lit waters?

Explanation:

Diatoms are some of the most important organisms living on earth because of its role on the oxygen production in the planet earth. The question "how do diatoms with their glasslike valves keep from sinking into poorly lit waters?" Because of the way their nutrition is obtained from functional chloroplasts and the way them encased within two porous, glasslike valves.
