When we say oncogenes, these are genes that has the potential to cause cancer. These often undergo mutation and are expressed in very high levels. With this, the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost. When the normal controls over the cell cycle is lost, the cells would uncontrollably divide, grow and then form tumors. These cells no longer undergo the programmed cell death or also known as apoptosis. Hope this answer helps.

#1) With reference to the role of oncogenes, explain how the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost.

Answer: The way that cell cycle can be lost is by going through changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. Cancer causes different types of mutations. There are two types of cell cycle regulators that can promote the development of cancer:

-Positive Regulators that can be over activated (become oncogenic).
-Negative Regulators (tumor suppressors) which can be inactivated.

I hope it helps, Regards.

List the three types of treatment for a fracture or dislocation

tatuchka [14]

A fracture or dislocation is a break or crack in the bone. It is when two bones are out of place at the joint that connects them which may also cause injury to nerves and blood vessels. The types of fracture are: Closed refers to fracture that does not break skin, Open, a fracture where external wound associated with fracture, Non displaced, a simple crack of bone and the Displaced, a fracture in which there is actual deformity. But there are three types of treatment for fracture or dislocation namely: Open treatment, examples are Surgically Cleaning the Bone, Removing Contaminated or Non-Viable Tissue, Stabilizing the Bone and many more. Other type of treatment is closed treatment like No immobilization and Cast Immobilization. Third type of treatment is Percutaneous Skeletal Fixation like internal and external fixation.

remember to imagine that blood in the heart is color-coded according to its oxygenation status. What color of blood would you ex

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Red blood.

Explanation:

Red blood is for oxygenated blood, while blue blood is for deoxygenated blood.

The blood in Isabelle's left ventricle would be red, in other words, oxygenated. The left ventricle has oxygenated blood because this blood was first in the right ventricle. Then, it went to the pulmonary arteries, which led the blood to the capillaries close to the alveoli in the lungs. In this area, the deoxygenated blood dropped the CO₂ and took O₂ becoming oxygenated blood. Now, this blood is color-coded red and will go to the pulmonary venules, then to the pulmonary vein, and from there, it will go to the left atrium. Lastly, it will go to the left ventricle to start the systemic circulation, which is the one that distributes the oxygenated blood in the body.
