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.

A protein is a polymer of amino acids. When amino acids are joined by dehydration synthesis (a process that removes water to form a chemical bond), they form peptide bonds. <span>There are three main components of an amino acid, the amino group, the side chain, and the carboxylic acid group.  </span>

In 3-5 sentences explain how increases in the human population impacts water resources. provide specific examples in your answer
astra-53 [7]

An increase in human population negatively impacts the water resources. There is only a small amount of clean and drinkable water on Earth. If more people are on Earth, more of this water will be used by the population. An increase of people also means that more fossil fuel will be used.

<h3>How does human population impact water resources?</h3>

Population growth especially will limit the amount of water available per person, because an increase in per capita water consumption driven by development will intensify water demand, straining the local water supply.
