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.

<span>#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. <span /><span>

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t

QveST [7]

<h2>Width of hair is "1.96 10⁻⁵ m"</h2>

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation
a sin θ =± m λ
Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)
We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity
L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m = 125 cm
y = 5.06 cm
Tan θ = y/L
Tan θ = 5.06/12
θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)
θ = 2.32º
With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1
a = m λ / sin θ
a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3
a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m
a = 0.0196 mm
Hence, "the width of the strand of hair is 1.96 10⁻⁵ m" is correct answer

Which part of a phospholipid faces toward the aqueous environment

wlad13 [49]

Phospholipids have 2 faces or poles: one hydrophobic (the tails which "run away" from water) and one hydrophilic (the heads which "like" water).

This means that when in a double layer in a aqueous environment, the heads will face the water and the tails will face each other.

How does my digestive system work from mouth to my butt?

kompoz [17]

Esophagus works to carry the food into the stomach and then the stomach then digest the nutrients thus sending the liquids to the small intestine and the solids to the bigger one, the bigger one leads to the rectum where you poop it out, the smaller intestine will lead to your urethera where youll pee it out
