Larger cells have slower diffusion rates.

This is because the ratio of;
 
surface area of a cell : volume of a cell

Decreases with size, as volume increases exponentially with respect to surface area.

We might consider that;

Surface area = X²,
<em>Volume        = X</em>³

As X increases, X² : X³ decreases.

So large cells have more trouble with diffusion.

Marrrta [24]
Most people afflicted with recessive disorder with recessive disorders are born to parents who are not affected at all by the disease. Most genetic disorders of humans are caused by recessive alleles. Dominant alleles on the hand cause lethal disorders, however they are less common compared to the recessive alleles disorders, this is because most individuals carrying a lethal dominant allele have the disorder and they die before pass it to the offspring, while the individuals with the recessive lethal genes are more likely to be healthy and reproduce.

g What will be the effect of the overexpression of this truncated receptor? EGFR will dimerize but will not cross‑phosphorylate,
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

<h2>EGFR will activate other proteins without dimerization, causing uncontrolled cell growth.</h2>

Explanation:

EGFR gene :

Epidermal growth factor receptor,

-which spans the cell membrane so that one end of the protein remains inside the cell and the other end located outer surface of the cell. This causes receptor to attach ligands, and to receive signals ,by which cell respond to its environment. Epidermal growth factor receptor binds to many different type of receptors. The binding of a ligand to receptor allows the receptor to attach to another nearby epidermal growth factor receptor protein (dimerize), activating the receptor complex. As a result, signaling pathways within the cell are triggered that promote cell growth and division and cell survival. If there is abnormlty in the expression of EGFR gene  , then the cell show uncontrolled growth.
