Mutations can occur at higher rates in viruses.

Explanation:

The mutation rate of an organism refers to the rate or average number of errors which are formed in the genome of the organism’s progeny per base per replication cycle.

Accordingly the Mutations of viruses are the highest per base pair per generation mutation. Viruses can mutate more than a million times than the host’s body due to their virulence factor, evolution ability, and presence of a variety of traits.

Of the DNA and RNA viruses, the RNA viruses like the Retroviruses having a much higher rate, for example, the HIV virus which is a Retrovirus has high mutation rate.

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Plea

Answer:

E2F transcription factors

Explanation:

The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.

What factors influence the input and output of carbon through Earth's spheres? The oceans on Earth act as carbon sinks. The combustion of fossil fuels contributions to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Animals are solely responsible for the release of carbon dioxide via respiration
