A cell has a defect in its receptor for growth factors, preventing growth factors from attaching to and signalling the cell. Bas
ed on this, which prediction below is most likely? A. The cell will remain dormant in GO phase.
B. The cell will grow uncontrollably and continue to divide as long as it has food.
C. The cell will replicate its DNA but be unable to begin mitosis.
D. The cell will begin DNA replication but will be unable to complete S phase.
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.
The two differences you see when comparing the four chambers of the heart is that the arteries have a thicker wall and veins have thin walls and that the arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart which means they get more pressure than veins.
