Ras is a GTP-binding protein involved in cell proliferation (division). In its active form, with GTP bound, Ras activates cell s

ignaling pathways that promote cell division. Mutations in the gene that encodes Ras can lead to cancer. How might mutations in the gene encoding Ras lead to the uncontrolled proliferation characteristic of cancer cells?
A. They prevent Ras from being made.
B. They increase the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.
C. They decrease the protein’s affinity for GTP.
D. They increase the protein’s affinity for GDP.
E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.

Answer:

E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.

Explanation:

Activated Ras has GTP bound to it, this propagates an intracellular signal to the nucleus where cell proliferation is induced. Thereafter proliferation is switched off by the hydrolysis of the bound GTP to GDP.

Therefore decreasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis causes Ras to remain active, ultimately leading to uncontrollable proliferation characteristic of cancer.

I need help with this question somebody answer!!
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The essential factor to increase the number of cells in a growing organism is that each and every cell has a complete copy of DNA.

Explanation:

The development and growth of an organism is based on the multiplication of its tissue cells. Cell multiplication in somatic cells occurs through mitosis, a process that allows obtaining<u> two identical daughter cells from a progenitor cell</u>.

DNA contains all the genetic information belonging to a living organism. In the process of mitosis, the DNA of each cell must be replicated so that each daughter cell has a complete copy of the original DNA. This ensures that each cell resulting from mitosis has the same structure and function as the original cell.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The </em><u><em>size of the cell is important</em></u><em>, since each cell has defined characteristics, according to the tissue it must form. </em>
  • <u><em>Each and every cell needs to have a complete DNA</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>In somatic cells, </em><u><em>DNA does not vary from one cell to another</em></u><em>.</em>
