Describe the genetic mutations that you think occurred in the cancer cells that were responsible for the phenotypic differences

between the normal and cancercells you observed. The normal cells were organized, normal shape, and the cancerous cells were all over the place stacked together, multiple nuclei in one cell for some and a lot of them in on area. I think the genetic mutation that occurred would be with the gene that affects cell division and the tumor suppressor gene.

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.

what would you if cell membrane became impermeable instead of selectively permeable could cell remain alive
natali 33 [55]
If a cell membrane became impermeable, instead of selectively permeable, the cell would not remain alive, though certain organisms would be able to stay alive longer than others. This is because the cell membrane allows essential molecules and substances such as oxygen into the cell, while allowing harmful substances, like waste, out of the cell.

Mrac [35]
Birds migrating in the winter would be a behavioral adaptation. The rest of the adaptations would be structural or physiological because they are controlled by mutations in the DNA. <span />

Explain the importance of the nitrogen base and their role in preserving the code
sukhopar [10]

Ans.

Genetic codes provide information for the protein synthesis as each code specifically codes a particular amino acid that gets joined in polypeptide chain during the process of translation.

Each genetic code is three letter code, made up of three nitrogenous bases. There are four different bases in DNA or RNA that make sixty four codes with different combinations, out of which sixty one code for amino acids and three act as stop codons.

Thus, nitrogenous bases are important in preserving the genetic codes.
