Answer:
Oncogenes result from a mutation in proto-oncogenes.
Explanation:
- Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
- The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
- They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
- Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
- Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
- Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.
A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:
- A point mutation such as deletion, insertion and substitution in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
- Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
- Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
- Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.
Answer:
The correct answer is A)
To limit the potential flooding damage that could result if an earthquake happens and the dam spills over
Explanation:
According to the text, seismic risks are very high for dams in that region. One of the reasons is that some of the dams were built many years ago when civil engineers didn't have information about what an earthquake could do to dams.
Citing an occurrence that happened in 1899 as an example where thousands of people were killed as a result of a failed dam, it is feared that should same reoccur, the loss may be more because about 300,000 people occupy the flood zone along the Alameda Creek below the dam.

Answer:
The correct answer is option d) "head-on".
Explanation:
In hunting, the head-on angle refers to a position at which the hunter and the prey are face to face. This shot angle rarely results in a clean kill, ruins a lot of meat, and provides an animal the best opportunity to detect the hunter as the animal is in front of the hunter. At the head-on angle it is harder for the hunter to kill an animal with the first shot and ruins a lot of meat because the animal produces hormones such as adrenaline result of the stress.
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, it is like a fully charged battery in a cell, ADP is basically ATP that has been drained of its energy from a chemical reaction. It is like a dead battery that can be recharged later ;)
