Meiosis is important because during sexual reproduction, it ensures that all produced organisms have the correct number of chromosomes. It is also responsible for producing genetic variations during the process of recombination, and it repairs some genetic defects.
The pattern of inheritance results from individual organisms having many different genes working at the same time to control a single trait is called Polygenic Traits or / inheritance that are may be located near each other or even on separate chromosomes.
Answer:
Oncogenes result from a mutation in proto-oncogenes.
Explanation:
- Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
- The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
- They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
- Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
- Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
- Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.
A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:
- A point mutation such as deletion, insertion and substitution in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
- Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
- Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
- Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.
D, all of the above. Your body sweats when it gets too hot to cool the body, and shivers when it gets too cold to heat the body. The nervous system is responsible for sensing everything in and around the body.
