Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

B. The cell will grow uncontrollably and continue to divide as long as it has food.

Cell growth is theeoretically stimulated by the binding of growth factors to their receptors using signaling pathways.

These pathways are regulated by proteins which are encoded for in the genes.

The gene that controls the regulation of these pathway when mutated produce malfunctioning signaling protein thus not allow for regulations of the cell cycle causing uncontrollable cell division. These mutated genes are called oncogenes.

What is the relationship between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Proteins that were sinthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are able to leave this organelle inside vesicles that are formed through evagination of the reticulum membrane. These vesicles can merge with the golgi membrane, spreading its contents inside the golgi apparatus. This process can be repeated through all of Golgi's cisternaes, and when the last cisternae is reached, these vesicles can be directed towards the plasma membrane. Once the vesicles and the plasma membrane are merged, all the molecules that were contained inside the vesicle are exported from the cell into the extracellular space.

Investiga como se reproducen las células madres​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Las células madre son células que se reproducen constantemente y tienen la capacidad de transformarse en cualquier otro tipo de célula del cuerpo de un organismo. Una célula a partir de la cual pueden crecer todos los tejidos del cuerpo, o una gran parte de ellos, es obviamente una célula extremadamente útil.  

Si las células madre se guían en la formación de tejidos sanos y funcionales, entonces, potencialmente, la terapia celular podría aplicarse para muchas enfermedades. De hecho, si las células provienen del propio paciente, en teoría no habrá riesgo de su rechazo (como lamentablemente ocurre con los trasplantes).

Las células madre tienen la capacidad de reproducirse por sí mismas a través del proceso de mitosis celular, para crear copias idénticas (clones) de sí mismas..
