PROTO-ONCOGENES are corresponding normal cellular genes to an oncogene that is responsible for normal cell growth and division.
An oncogene refers to a gene that is capable of causing cancer due to damage to the DNA molecule either by virus or other DNA damaging agents. A proto oncogene is the normal version of the gene while an oncogene is the abnormal version of the concerned gene.

<span>A gene that code for proteins and responsible for normal cell growth and division is called proto-oncogenes. Mutations in proto-oncogenes can lead to an increase in protein expression or produce too many copies of it and become oncogene that can contribute to cancer cells. Furthermore, </span>proto-oncogenes<span> have many various roles in the cell. Some of them provide signals that lead to cell division and others regulate programmed cell death.</span>

Given the following events involved in the regulation of blood volume, which one of the following answers best represents the or

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. decrease in blood volume

2. secretion of renin from juxtaglomerular apparatus

3. production of angiotensin II

4. secretion of aldosterone

5. sodium reabsorbed from distal tubules and collecting ducts

Explanation:

The RAAS pathway or Renin-angiotensin II-aldosterone pathway gets activated in the human body to maintain the osmolarity and blood volume.

When the receptors in the blood sense the low volume of water in the body sends signals to the brain which activates the secretion of the renin from the juxtaglomerular cells. Renin helps converts the inactive angiotensin to angiotensin I and II which help reabsorption of sodium ions. This activates the production of aldosterone which increases the reabsorption of the sodium ions into distal and collecting ducts.
