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.

Answer:

Gene.

Explanation:

Gene which is responsible for the production of spruceanol in the Peruvian Rosewood plant can be inserted in the host species in order to produce spruceanol  in large quantity so that we can used it as a drug that can cure antimalarial disease. There are certain genes that are responsible for the production of spruceanol in the Peruvian Rosewood plant so if we want to produce this spruceanol in other plants we have to transfer this gene to the host plant.

The inheritance pattern for snapdragon flower color exhibits incomplete dominance. a snapdragon that is homozygous for the red a
andriy [413]
The phenotypic outcome will be pink. Incomplete dominance means none of the traits are dominant, therefore they will not mask each other. As a result, they will produce a new trait. In the case of the snapdragons, red + white = pink.
Genotypic wise, all of the offspring will be heterozygous.
