The Digestive System
Allisa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Digestive System

Explanation:

The digestion process begins in the mouth, where food is reduced to smaller particles by chewing and the action of salivary enzymes.

In the stomach, food particles are further reduced due to the action of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and protein-breaking enzymes.

After that, the food goes to the small intestine, where it acts the bile (from the liver) that reduces the fat particles, as well as enzymes that finish the breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates.  The <u>nutrients</u> are then absorbed and transported to the bloodstream.

Finally, the rest of the food reaches the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms the feces that will be excreted.

Explain its normal role and why scientists would regard it as the "guardian of the genome."
Burka [1]
The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.
