Determine if the statement is true or false, and why. “If a point mutation occurs in a proto-oncogene it can form an oncogene. T

his can stimulate excessive cell division, leading to the formation of a tumor.”

Answer:

<u><em>The above statement is true.</em></u>

Explanation:

A proto-oncogene can be described as a gene which is normal but if mutation occurs then it can be converted into a cancerous gene. Proto oncogenes have different functions to perform. Some of them act as signals for cell division while others might be involved in the process of apoptosis. A point mutation can be described as a mutation by which just a single nucleotide gets changed. Even a change in the single nucleotide can cause a proto oncogene to convert into an oncogene and cause cancer.

Which of the following describes a relationship of mutualism?
Reika [66]
  • Oxpecker birds eat parasitic ticks off the backs of zebras is an example of mutualism.
  • Mutualism is defined as a relationship between organisms in which both the individuals involved are benefitted from each other.
  • In the case of oxpecker birds and zebras, the oxpecker birds benefit as they get their food from the parasitic ticks living on the zebra and the zebras benefit as the birds help them to get rid of the parasites.
  • In this way, both these organisms are involved in a mutualistic relationship.

In the paired chromosomes, which pair might have two different chromosomes with very different genetic coding?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

Interphase is the part of the cell cycle during which these phases occur:
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Growth 1, Synthesis, Growth 2.

Explanation:

The cell cycle has three important phases Interphase, M -phase and cytokinesis. Interphase is the laongest phase of eukaryotic cell cycle. This phase shows no observational change in the cell, however, it collects nutrients, generates protein and replicates DNA and prepare the cell for the M- phase.

Interphase has 3 phases G1, S, and G2 phase. G1 phase is the phase that collects nutrients and increase the size of the cell for the cell division. S phase or synthesis phase is the phase takes maximum time in cell divivon and acompanied by protein generation, duplication of the genetic material. G2 phase is preparatory phase that prepeare the cell before the cell enter in the M - phase.
