Cell division is the process essential for growth and repair in multi-cellular organisms.

Injury to the tissue can activate surrounding cells to undergo cell division with the help of mitogens. Mitogens are the chemical substances which help in escalating mitotic divisions in the cells.

They act by activating the signal-transduction pathway which involve mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

Other possible manner could be the loss of density which could lead to the inactivation of contact inhibition. As there is a loss of cells during the injury, it makes an empty space which could also trigger or activate surrounding cell to start cell division.

In addition, at injury site the flow of blood also increases to transport various nutrients, clotting factors, growth factors etc. These increased nutrition and growth factors also speed up the process of mitosis.

How does the RNA sequence compare to the DNA sequence?

zalisa [80]

<span>The transmission of information from DNA to RNA is a critical process. We compared RNA sequences from human B cells of 27 individuals to the corresponding DNA sequences from the same individuals and uncovered more than 10,000 exonic sites where the RNA sequences do not match that of the DNA. All 12 possible categories of discordances were observed. </span>

The horizontal transfer process known as transduction ___________

Bess [88]

Answer:

involves a virus

Explanation:

Transduction is the process where DNA molecules are transferred from one bacterium to another using viruses as vectors (bacteriophages). These, when assembled within the bacteria, may eventually include pieces of DNA from the host bacteria. By infecting another bacterium, the virus that carries the bacterial DNA transfers it along with yours. If the bacterium survives viral infection, it may include the genes of another bacterium in its genome.
