You have recently discovered a new gene, have it cloned, and suspect this gene is a proto-oncogene. What is a proto-oncogene and

how would you test your hypothesis that your gene fits this description?

Explanation:

A proto-oncogene is a<em> normal gene that usually can stimulate growth and differentiation but if it mutates can become an oncogene and cause cancer</em>. In order to test this gene, you can <em>activate it by promoting its mutation with a DNA amplification (like the one you did in the question) or a chromosomal translocation,</em> then you can observe it in a culture <em>if there's cell transformation you can confirm your hypothesis.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Based on the graph above, how is the population of older female elephants different from the younger female elephants
Ludmilka [50]

Population of older female elephants different from the younger female elephants is described below.

Explanation:

  • THE OLDEST ELEPHANTS wandering Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park bear the indelible markings of the civil war that gripped the country for 15 years: Many are tuskless. They’re the lone survivors of a conflict that killed about 90 percent of these beleaguered animals, slaughtered for ivory to finance weapons and for meat to feed the fighters.
  • Hunting gave elephants that didn’t grow tusks a biological advantage in Gorongosa. Recent figures suggest that about a third of younger females—the generation born after the war ended in 1992—never developed tusks. Normally, tusklessness would occur only in about 2 to 4 percent of female African elephants.

  • New, as yet unpublished, research she’s compiled indicates that of the 200 known adult females, 51 percent of those that survived the war—animals 25 years or older—are tuskless. And 32 percent of the female elephants born since the war are tuskless.

  • A male elephant’s tusks are bigger and heavier than those of a female of the same age, says Poole, who serves as scientific director of a nonprofit called ElephantVoices. “But once there’s been heavy poaching pressure on a population, then the poachers start to focus on the older females as well,” she explains. “Over time, with the older age population, you start to get this really higher proportion of tuskless females.”

  • “The prevalence of tusklessness in Addo is truly remarkable and underscores the fact that high levels of poaching pressure can do more than just remove individuals from a population,” says Ryan Long, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Idaho and a National Geographic Explorer. The “consequences of such dramatic changes in elephant populations are only just beginning to be explored.”

Consider two cells: a stomach-lining epithelial cell dividing more than twice a day and a liver cell dividing every year or two.
dalvyx [7]

The correct answer is liver cell is likely to be in G0 phase.

Cells of inner lining of the stomach made of epithelial cells. They are protective in nature. They get damaged and need to be replaced through division. Whereas, liver is made of hepatocytes and once they reached maturity. These cells are not need to be replaced and cell cycle is generally in G0 stage. The G0 phase is a resting phase in the cell cycle. In this phase cells remain in a quiescent state because in G0 phase a cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide. G0 phase allows cells to become adapted for particular function. Hepatocytes may divide when there is removal of part of liver.
