B. Oncogenes. Protooncogenes usually mutate to form oncogenes, which codes for a growth factor that is permanently activated, which leads to excessive cell division.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

(b). oncogenes.

Explanation:

Proto-oncogenes are normal cellular genes, associated with cell proliferation, growth and cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis. Proto-oncogenes become oncogenes and lead to excessive cell division.

These genes are called as cancer causing genes as these genes stimulate excessive cell growth and division and help in tumor formation.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Chloasma is characterized by darkened areas on the face, particularly over the nose and cheeks. It is also known as the mark of pregnancy. Chloasma is not caused by lordosis. Diastasis occurs as the pregnancy progresses when the rectus muscle stretches to the point that it separates. It is not caused by lordosis.

Which of the following statements about osmosis is correct?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

D. The presence of aquaporins (proteins that form water channels in the membrane) should speed up the process of osmosis.

Explanation:

Water moves in the cells through osmosis which means water moves from its higher concentration to lower concentration. In many animals and plants, water channels are also present which is called aquaporins which allow the water to move through it in and out of cell more quickly.

The rate of diffusion by channel proteins is higher than simple diffusion therefore the aquaporins speed up the process of osmosis. No ATP is required to transport the water through aquaporin channel proteins.

An object with a mass of 20 kg and potential energy of 584 J is what distance above the ground
grigory [225]

Answer:

29.2 m

Explanation:

P=mh. Plug in the values.

584 J = 20 kg x <em>h</em>

h = 29.2 m

If it's gravitational potential energy multiply is by gravity which I think is 10 m/s.
