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. What procedure did you use to complete the lab? Outline the steps of the procedure in full sentences. Virtual Lab: Water Eros
Anettt [7]

The procedures that can be used to perform water erosion laboratory practicals are:

  • The use of detachment
  • Transportation
  • Deposition.

<h3>What is Water Erosion?</h3>

This refers to the biological process where rock particles are broken down into smaller particles and how they are removed by water.

Hence, we can see that in a laboratory experiment, one would need different apparatus such as:

  • Pitchers
  • Bottles
  • Soil
  • Water, etc.

This would be used to test the loss of water as it is put into the soil from the set of bottles to see how much the water is retained.
