Ras is a GTP-binding protein involved in cell proliferation (division). In its active form, with GTP bound, Ras activates cell s

ignaling pathways that promote cell division. Mutations in the gene that encodes Ras can lead to cancer. How might mutations in the gene encoding Ras lead to the uncontrolled proliferation characteristic of cancer cells

Answer:

Mutations in the active site induce a continue 'switch-on state' of the Ras proteins

Explanation:

Ras is a family of GDP/GTP-binding proteins expressed in all animal cells. Ras proteins play roles in signal transduction pathways, where they are activated to subsequently 'switched on'  other proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including cell growth, cell differentiation and survival. In consequence, the Ras genes are considered to be oncogenes because when they are overexpressed in cells their encoded proteins produce uncontrolled cell proliferation, thereby leading to cancer progression.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

A species is a group of similar organisms which interbreed with the individual of the same group of closely related individuals.

Species are reproductively isolated by various mechanisms, one of which is due to the behavior.

When the species are not able to reproduce to different species due to the differences in their behaviour in terms of mating rituals which could be due to different mating rituals or a different way of mating like observed in the grasshoppers is known as behavioral reproductive isolating mechanism.

In grasshoppers, the grasshopper's species cannot interbreed due to the differences in the mating songs as a part of the behavior.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Describe how environmental change can impact ecosystem stability
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Environmental change results in the environmental ecosystem to be able to adapt to a new environment to survive the impact of environmental change can cause a decrease in the amount of organisms living in that ecosystem and without one of the organism living in the ecosystem the other organism supports on the other organism for food/energy will be scarce resulting in a decrease of species eventually dying out.
