Answer:
1. Weaker
2. Continuous
Explanation:
A tumor suppressor gene codes for retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The retinoblastoma protein binds to transcription factor E2F when DNA damage is detected. The E2F bound to pRb can not stimulate expression of genes that code for proteins required during the process of DNA synthesis. The cell can not enter the S phase.
On the other hand, when the retinoblastoma protein is phosphorylated by cyclin E-CDK2, E2F transcription factor is free to stimulate the expression of genes required for DNA synthesis and the cell proceeds from G1 to S phase.
When the mutated retinoblastoma gene code for a protein that serves as phosphorylated protein, it will not be able to bind strongly with E2F and there would be continuous expression of genes required for S phase.

Answer:
Primary active transport
Explanation:
Primary active transport is the transport in which molecules are moved against their gradient, with direct use of ATP as an energy source. Na/K pump is an example of primary active transport: Na ions are transported out of cell, K ions are moved into the cell. This pumps maintain concentrations of those ions and also creates voltage across the cell membrane, which can be used for the secondary active transport of other molecules (e.g. glucose).
