<span>Proto-oncogenes are genes that normally help cells grow. When a proto-oncogenemutates (changes) or there are too many copies of it, it becomes a "bad" gene thatcan become permanently turned on or activated when it is not supposed to be. When this happens, the cell grows out of control, which can lead to cancer.....Is this what you need ?</span>
Answer:
a. Organism B is most closely related to organism A because the percentage of DNA similarity is 97%
b. Organism D and Organism A are the least closely related with a DNA similarity of 50%
c. Organism A and Organism B most likely share a common ancestor because there DNA is alomst identical leaving you to beleive that they are closly related.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The lac repressor is a molecule that is part of the regulation of genes to metabolize lactose to some bacteria, including Escherichia coli. Bacteria need to metabolize lactose to provide energy to your body, in which case the lac repressor acts as a lactose detector, preventing the genes responsible for lactose metabolism proteins from being activated unnecessarily, thereby preventing lactose digestion. The lac repressor has the opposite function to the lac operon, which stimulates lactose digestion.
However, for some time, it was unclear whether lac repressor inhibits lac operon transcription by inhibiting RNA polymerase binding to its promoter or allowing transcription to begin, but blocking elongation after the bound repressor site.
It is now recognized that lac repressor paralyzes enzyme production in the absence of lactose, and catabolic activator protein (CAP), which aids in the production of glucose in the medium.

Answer:
The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the club hair (a hair that has stopped growing or is no longer in the anagen phase) up the follicle and eventually out. During this phase the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days.
