Mitosis is a process used for normal growth and development. Explain how and why a mutation in a BRCA gene may affect the cell c

ycle and the rate of mitosis and result in tumors.
Biology
1 answer:
Romashka [77]3 years ago

Answer:

The BRCA gene is a tumor-suppressor gene found in the breast; to be more specific, it produces proteins that suppress cancerous activities/abnormal growth in the body. A mutation in a BRCA gene would allow these abnormal growth activities to go unchecked and thus increase the rate of mitosis. Cell cycle checkpoints would significantly be worse at their jobs of checking and correcting for errors during the cell cycle. Tumors would result as well, as cancerous growth continues, and the tumor can become metastatic.

When THC binds to its receptor, how are the levels of cAMP affected in the post synaptic cells?
Nadya [2.5K]

Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.

Does a carbon monoxide detector go off continuously
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: CO alarms have a life expectancy of around seven years. The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. Most detectors will beep 4 or 5 times in a row about every 4 seconds. Do not mistake dangerous levels of poisonous gas for a detector with low battery.

Explanation: (credits to the internet) Hope this helped! :D
