Approximately 90% of human cancer cells exhibit significant levels of telomerase. Does this mean that telomerase is an oncogene?

Answer:

No, telomerase is not an oncogene. It prevents the senescence that would occur due to shortened telomeres, but the cell proliferation might still be mitogen-dependent.

Explanation

telomerase is not responsible for causing  deregulation while oncogenes cause deregulation .

Telomeres length shorten after the cell division which stops them to divide again and cell die.

Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells, including stem cells, by lengthening telomeres, and the hope was that activating the enzyme could  prevent senescence.

A scientist could best determine which ion (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) produced the greatest electrical potential in the Experiment by
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration

Explanation:

If a scientist wishes to study the electrical potential that develops between ice  and the sodium salts solution of the ions (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) in order to determine which ion produced the greatest electrical potential; he must compare the electrical potential that develops between ice and a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration.

This means that conclusions can not be reached unless the sodium salt of each ion at the same concentration is compared so as to ensure consistence in the results of the study.
