Answer:

1. Weaker

2. Continuous

Explanation:

A tumor suppressor gene codes for retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The retinoblastoma protein binds to transcription factor E2F when DNA damage is detected. The E2F bound to pRb can not stimulate expression of genes that code for proteins required during the process of DNA synthesis. The cell can not enter the S phase.

On the other hand, when the retinoblastoma protein is phosphorylated by cyclin E-CDK2, E2F transcription factor is free to stimulate the expression of genes required for DNA synthesis and the cell proceeds from G1 to S phase.  

When the mutated retinoblastoma gene code for a protein that serves as phosphorylated protein, it will not be able to bind strongly with E2F and there would be continuous expression of genes required for S phase.

What form does the radiation that is used to treat cancer take?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Photon radiation

A high-energy photon beam is by far the most common form of radiation used for cancer treatment. It is the same type of radiation that is used in x-ray machines, and comes from a radioactive source such as cobalt, cesium, or a machine called a linear accelerator (linac, for short).

The speed of radioactive particles is also an important factor in medical use. Beta particles travel very fast. This, combined with their small size, gives them significant penetrating power. In cancer treatment, for example, beams of beta particles can be created outside the patient's body and directed at tumors.

A tertiary consumer, such as a red-tailed hawk, receives what percent of the energy fixed by primary producers in a typical fiel
myrzilka [38]
Assuming a 10% trophic efficiency, the herbivore (primary consumer) will get 10% of the producer energy. Then, the second consumer that eat the herbivore will get 10% of the primary consumer energy, so it is 10%*10%= 1% of the primary producers.
Then, the t<span>ertiary consumer should get 0.1% of the primary producers' energy.</span>
