If a cell loses control of gene expression, what happens?

Biology

Answer:

Abnormal, unhealthy cells develop

Explanation:

Gene expression is the process through which genes are turned on through transcription, and to some extent through the translation of the mRNA.

Gene expression is highly regulated to ensure the cell can create the correct combination of proteins to carry out it's tasks. If gene expression is out of control, the mRNAs that are transcribed in the cell are not properly regulated, and therefore the proteins in the cell are not regulated. Since proteins carry out essentially every function in the cell, the cell becomes unhealthy, and incorrectly uses its resources.

Accurate control of gene expression also ensures that the cell can perform specialized functions, it is what makes a heart cell distinct from a brain cell, for example. Therefore, if it is out of control, cells will not be specialized correctly.

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden, temporary increase in the number of prey?
alekssr [168]
The number of predators and preys change from time to time following cycles. Whenever there is fewer prey, predators start dying because they have not enough to eat; however, that provokes the population of prey to be increased while there are fewer predators. So if suddenly the number of prey gets bigger, regardless of the number of predators, the cycles get disturbed by this sudden occurrence. The predators will get more to hunt, therefore getting more violent.
