Assume that a recent study found that a chemical in a popular sports drink could cause a cell to undergo mitosis at an unregulat

ed rate. The researchers concluded that people should not drink this sports drink because it could lead to cancer. Which of the following is a valid response to this conclusion? I. What do chemicals in fruit juices do to cells? II. Which type of cell was used in the study? III. How much of the sport drink chemical were the cells exposed to? A. II only B. I only C. I and III only D. II and III only

The answer is D, II and III. It can depend on how much of the drink the cell was exposed to and what kind of cell it was.<span />

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

I statement would not be a valid response as it is the fact on which the conclusion was made.

On the conclusion provided, one should ask about the cell type used in the study and the amount of chemicals those cells were exposed to.

Different types of cells may response in different manner against a particular chemical. For example, stem cell would response in different manner whereas differentiated cell would response in different manner.

Similarly, the amount or concentration of chemical plays important role in any reaction or cellular response. For example, the affinity of haemoglobin is high towards oxygen in alveoli whereas it is high towards carbon dioxide in body cell.

So, the correct answer would be option D.

What is the relationship between proto-oncogenes and oncogenes?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Oncogenes result from a mutation in  proto-oncogenes.

Explanation:

  • Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
  • The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
  • They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
  • Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
  • Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
  • Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.

A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:

  • A point mutation  such as deletion, insertion and substitution  in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
  • Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
  • Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
  • Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.

Jesse is studying a blood sample that has only antigen B on the red blood cells and antibody A and antibody Rh in the plasma. Wh
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: the bloodtype of Jesse is A Rhesus D positive

Explanation:

Antigens at present on the blood cells while antibodies are present in the serum. Thus, to prevent agglutination which occurs if the red blood cell antigen is similar to the antibody, the red blood cell of Jesse which has the B antigen will have the A antibodies produced. Thus, since the red blood cell determines the bloodtype of a person, Jesse therefore has the B bloodtype.
