Answer:

p53 helps the cells from passing on mutations that lead to DNA damage. Hence, it is known as the guardian angel of the cell as it helps fight against cancer. However, if p53 becomes defective or missing, then the mutations will lead to cancer.

Mutations in the p53 can also cause the tumor-suppressing genes to convert into tumor causing genes. Hence, mutations in such kind of genes can be very harmful for the body.

Which endocrine gland is responsible for the release of a hormone that stimulates T-cell development and proper immune response
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be d. thymus.

The thymus is a specialized lymphoid organ of an immune system.

It serves as the site for training and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells.  

It is composed two identical lobes each containing outer region termed as cortex and inner region termed as medulla.

T-cells are first trained and selected in the cortex region via positive selection. In this, T cells which are able to bind to foreign antigens are selected and rest are degraded.

The selected T cells then move in the medulla region where they are selected by negative selection. In this, the T cells which binds to self-antigens are degraded and rest survive to become functional T cells.

Which best describes the nucleus of an atom?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The answer is D.

I used the process of elimination to find your answer if you want to understand further look in my explanation. I hope I can help! Have a great day!

Explanation:

So the negatively charged part of a atom is the electron cloud so A is wrong because it would be in the wrong spot. Plus the nucleus is positively charged because it contaims only protons ans neutrons. Neutrons are neutral and protons are positive so the protons over power the nuetrons. Therefore the nucleus is not made of neutrons and electrons so C is wrong. And B is also wromg because the nucleus does indeed have mass. So the correct answer is D, it is the most massibe part of a atom.

If purple flowers are dominant in a plant and white flowers are recessive in that plant, then when purple-flowered
zlopas [31]

Answer: All purple flowers

Explanation: Set up a Punnett square with P for the dominant gene and p for the recessive. The purple-flowered plant would be PP and the white- flowered plant would be pp. All of the offspring would have the genotype Pp. Since purple (P) is dominant, all of them would be purple.
