What are some factors that might cause a cell to be unable to regulate its cell cycle​

Biology
1 answer:
jenyasd209 [6]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Some of the factors that might cause unregulated cell cycle are-

  1. Genetic mutation
  2. Growth factors
  3. inactivation of tumor suppressor gene
  4. Disregulation of cell cycle check points
  5. Oncogenic retroviruses.

Explanation:

1. Genetic Mutation- mutation in the proto-oncogenes can turn them into oncogenes which stimulate cell division. Some common causes of genetic mutation are radiations, chemical agents called mutagens, etc.

2. Growth factors- these are the molecules that bind to receptor proteins to initiate a signaling pathway that can result in cell cycle.

3. Tumor suppressor genes- these are the genes responsible for stopping the cell to enter cell cycle. Inactivation of these genes can cause unregulated cell division.

4. Cell cycle checkpoints - during the cell cycle, a cell has to pass through certain checkpoints which make sure the continuity or stopping of the process. Problem in their regulation can cause uncontrolled cell division.

5. retroviruses- These are the viruses who have RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA. They replicate via DNA intermediate which when they insert inside a cell can start cell cycle.

Rna primers must be present on which strand during dna synthesis?
Tanya [424]

Answer:Both on the leading strand and on each okazaki fragments of the lagging strand.

Explanation:

A primer is a short single-stranded RNA nucleotide that initiate DNA synthesis at the replication fork. Because DNA polymerase can not initiate replication on it own short strand of RNA primer synthesized by an enzyme RNA primase is needed to initiate DNA polynucleotide synthesis.

RNA primer is present on both leading and lagging strand.

RNA primer of about 10 nucleotides long are present on the leading strand and on each okazaki fragments on the lagging strand to initiate replication. The RNA primer is removed and replaced by DNA nucleotides by DNA polymerase.

Are bats the only mammal that can fly? BQ: are there flying reptiles
GREYUIT [131]
Yes, they ate the only mammals which could fly because flying squirrels, possums or etc. could only glide for a short distance and time, unlike bats. There are no reptiles who could fly, but there are reptiles who could glide which I think is completely different. But they said that Pterosaur existed which they believed it is a flying reptile dinosaur. Just look it up. :)

Why would a drug the damages capsids help treat a viral infection
goblinko [34]
Because by damaging capsids, there is no place for the bad DNA to be stored. So the drug destroys the DNA so no more of the virus can be stored in the body.
