Answer:
Explanation:
A. Cancer cells are cancerous because they divide all the time. Normal cells stop dividing once there's enough of them but cancer cells divide when not required as well. Therefore, if Ras is mutated it will always be "on" which means it will activate the pathway which will lead to division of cells i.e. cells divide to multiply their numbers so more cells will be made. Normally, cells only multiply whne there's the growth factor present to activate the whole pathway, but since Ras is mutated it doesnt need the growth factor to activate the pathway, it automatically always activates the pathway even in absence of growth factor.
B. It is highly unlikely that the proposed drug will have a useful effect. This is because mutant Ras protein of this type behaves as though it is constantly "on". Ras acts downstream of the receptor, i.e. first you have the reception of growth factor in receptor, then the ras gets activated. However, the activating mutation makes its effect felt (Ras is activated no matter if there's a growth factor or not), which is why mutant Ras is always active and no longer dependent on the receptor for activation.
Therefore, blocking the ability of the receptor to dimerize and activate Ras will probably not have an effect on cells containing the mutant Ras protein as it does not inhibit the activity of mutated Ras protein.
(Check out the Ras/Ref/MEK/Erk pathway for better understanding of how significant role Ras protein plays in cell proliferation i.e. division)
Answer:
Dish soap "cuts through grease" because it actually breaks down those greasy molecules. Now, the molecules that make the membranes around cells and the nucleus (which holds DNA) are lipids. So when dish soap is added, the cell membrane and the nuclei are broken apart, releasing the DNA.

Answer:
Absorption depends on the electromagnetic frequency of the light and object's nature of atoms. The absorption of light is therefore directly proportional to the frequency. If they are complementary, light is absorbed. If they are not complementary, then the light passes through the object or gets reflected.
hope this helps ^w^
Your answer would be B) The divide (brainliest answer please)
B. It has a whip, like a tail
Explanation - Protists are unicellular organisms. Some multi-cellular organism might exist. Some protists have silica plated scales on their body surface like diatomaceous earth. They exhibit both type of respiration - aerobic and anaerobic. They mainly have parasitic mode of nutrition.
Protists also have flagella which they whip that in turn helps in their movement and this feature have made them to enter into the water body, example - euglena. Paramoecium have cilia on their entire surface that helps in their locomotion in water.
