Biology
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer/Explanation:

EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor. It is a transmembrane protein acting as a tyrosine kinase receptor for epidermal growth factor ligands, which are associated with promoting cell division and proliferation. When epidermal growth factor binds to the receptor, it becomes activated and undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation.

A mutation could occur making the receptor overactive. That is, it does not require ligand binding to become activated, meaning it is always in an "on" state. This would lead to uncontrolled proliferation, a hallmark of cancer.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)
