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

Biology
1 answer:
kipiarov [429]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Composed of a phosohlipid bilayer
Zigmanuir [339]

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids

Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes.  They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic  (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).

They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid  while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol  and extracellular fluid.

The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable

Analyze the diagram below. Which of the following is true about the sodium (Na) atom after the electron moves to chlorine?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

B. It becomes a positive ion.

Explanation:

The number of electrons and protons is eleven in sodium. After sodium (Na) has transferred its electron to the chlorine atom (Cl) it becomes a positively charged ion. This is because as electrons are negatively charged, losing of an electron will increase the number of protons (i.e 11) as compared to the number of electrons (i.e 10) in sodium (Na) atom. Hence, a positive charge will be acquired by the sodium (Na) ions.

What did Mendel discover about the principles of heredity? Choose the two staments that apply.
harina [27]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes comes in pairs and are inherited as distincts units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominate or recessive traits.
