Answer: To separate the inside of the cell from its environment.

The cell membrane is primarily made up of lipids and proteins. It provides protection to the cell by keeping the interior of the cell separated from its external environment.  

It is a selectively permeable membrane meaning that it only allows certain substances to pass through it. It is involved in various cellular processes like cell signaling, cell adhesion, endocytosis, exocytosis etc.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

A cell that has Damaged p53 gene , A) may become Cancerous; B) may experience uninhibited and out of control cell division; C) may accumulate multiple mutation.

Explanation:

  • p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a polypeptide that acts as a transcription factor.
  • Mutation in p53 is associated with 50% of human cancers.
  • Loss of p53 removes DNA damage check point.
  • Mutation in p53 prevents DNA repair and the apoptosis of cells that contain irreparable damage.
  • as a result the cells may accumulate multiple mutations.
  • Since Functional p53 promotes DNA repair and arrest the cell cycle if a damaged DNA is present; any mutation in p53 may result in uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation.
