Proto-oncogenes signal cells to grow and differentiate. However, they can become oncogenes due to mutations which result in the uncontrollable division of the cells, i.e. cancer. One way is a point mutation in a proto-oncogene. The consequence is changed protein product. Another way is gene amplification of DNA segment containing a proto-oncogene. As the result, the encoded protein is overexpressed. The third way is translocation. As the result of translocation, proto-oncogene can be controlled by the different promoter and expressed inappropriately.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Respiration is a process in which energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with the addition of oxygen forming carbondioxode, water and energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). In respiration process, carbondioxide is released in the atmosphere and oxygen is used for breakdown of food. This carbondioxide is used by the plants in the process of photosynthesis and oxygen is released in the atmosphere which is again used by animals for respiration.
