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.
The plant population would grow out of control
ANSWER:
Most types of cancer are believed to begin with a random genetic mutation. This is followed by mutations, which endow the cancer cells with properties allowing them to grow without normal controls to become a tumor.
Mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.
Genetic Mutations that lead to cancer cell formation can occur in two forms:
1. GROWTH-PROMOTING GENES are commonly mutated in cancer cells, becoming SUPER-ACTIVE and producing cells that are too strongly stimulated by growth receptors.
2. Mutations can INACTIVATE the genes that suppress cell proliferation or those that signal the need for apoptosis. These genes are known as TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES.
Answer:The mass of a liquid can be measured using one of these two methods: Method n 1: - Measure the mass of the empty container. - Pour the liquid into the container and measure the new mass. - The mass of liquid is obtained by subtracting the mass of the container to the total mass. hope this makes sense :)
Explanation:
Answer: Cells have specific jobs they have to do, like for example, reproduction, cells help in the reproduction of organisms. Energy metabolism, some cells help with nutrients and oxygen. Regeneration, if you get a cut or a scrape, some cells help to heal that wound. And information transfer, this is when we get information in our brain.
Hope this helps!
