Answer:

The correct answer is- Preeclampsia

Explanation:

Preeclampsia is a complication during pregnancy which is characterized by high blood pressure in the pregnant woman and damage to internal organs like liver and kidney.

This complication starts normally after 20 weeks of the pregnancy. Before starting preeclampsia the pregnant woman's blood pressure is normal. Preeclampsia can lead to serious complications if it untreated and the delivery of the baby is the most effective treatment.  

Therefore preeclampsia is a life-threatening disease, characterized by high blood pressure in pregnant women.

The role that p53 protein plays in suppressing inappropriate progression through the cell cycle depends on all of the following
irinina [24]

Answer:

a. p53 activates transcription of WAF1.

Explanation:

<u>WAF1 transcription occurs independent of p53 during oxidative stress so p53 does not play any role in cell cycle arrest in the signaling pathway which involves WAF1 . </u>

In rest of the mentioned options, p53 plays a role directly or indirectly. During double stranded lesion in DNA in G1 phase, a sensor protein known as ATM binds the DNA lesion site. ATM is a serine/threonine kinase which phosphorylates another kinase known as chk2. After phosphorylation,<u> chk2 stabilizes transcription factor p53.</u> p53 further acts as a transcription factor for the synthesis of a protein known as p21 which inhibits G1 phase specific CDK and ultimately cell is arrested in G1 phase. The cell remains in arrested state until the DNA lesion is fully repaired. <u>Hence, p53 indirectly blocks G1 to S transition with the help of p21. </u>

As such <u>WAF1 transcription factor involving pathway</u><u> </u><u>also requires p21 protein for causing cell cycle arrest but in this pathway p21 is not synthesized with the help of p53. </u>
