Answer:

Explanation:

1. Most cancers arise from defects in DNA. True defects in the DNA including mutations can lead to cancer.

2. The presence of a single mutated gene is sufficient for retinoblastoma cancer to develop. False: the presence one mutant copy of the gene of RB1 is not sufficient enough to cause cancer

3. miRNAs play a critical role in initiating tumor development. True: MiRNAs may function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors under certain conditions. They have been shown as biomarkers for human cancer diagnosis.

4. A single gene mutation may predispose a person to developing cancer. False: many mutations in the cells coupled with other risk factors may predispose a person to developing cancer

5. Overactive telomerase enzyme deletes the ends of chromosomes and can cause cancer. False: Instead the enzyme just keeps adding more and more repeats to the telomereres and the cancer cell can keep dividing without losing DNA and genes at the ends of the chromosomes

6. Relatively few people inherit all of the genetic changes that cause cancer: True: there are some genetic changes that are not inherited but acquired.

7. Proto-oncogenes do not cause cancer. True: they do not cause cancer but a mutation in them might lead to the activation of oncogenes that causes cancer.

8. Most tumors arise from germ-line mutations that accumulate during our life span. False: most common cancers are as a result of somatic or acquired mutation that have accumulated during our life span. Germline mutations are hereditary

9. Xeroderma pigmentosum includes predisposition to cancer due to defects in a specific DNA repair system.

True: a defect in the DNA repair system paritcularly in enzymes invloved in this repair

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Plea
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E2F transcription factors  

Explanation:

The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.

Could someone help me put this in my own words please:
Sphinxa [80]
No, it is not precise. The law of energy conservation states that it is impossible to produce or destroy energy. Plants convert light energy from the Sun via the photosynthesis process into chemical energy.

What is the your groundbreaking idea for a razor or hair removal product that awakens your senses?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Traditionally, shaving and hair removal brands provide mainly functional benefits:   they get the job done, but they don’t deliver an enriching, self-care experience.  Their products aren’t going to uplift you or make you feel calm and relaxed.  Instead, they offer mundane experiences and boring designs and scents.

As a leading personal care brand, we are looking for razor and shave preparation ideas that will make shaving enjoyable, that are experiential, and that stimulate the senses (olfactory, tactile, vision, etc.).  We are looking for creative solutions that will appeal to those who love variety, who enjoy exploring new things, and who value enriching experiences.  Personal care should give us a chance to reground ourselves, awaken our senses, and feel better in our day-to-day.

We are interested in groundbreaking ideas for wet-shave devices (e.g. razors) and/or packaging that will awaken your senses without compromising the effectiveness or durability of the products.

Your idea could improve the sensory shaving experience at any level.  Primarily, we are looking for ideas that relate to razors, but we are also open to shave preparation (pre, during, post shaving) as well as packaging.  In proposing your idea(s), please consider the following:

Be creative!  Feel free to go beyond scents / olfactory experience.

Bring ideas for razors, shave preparation, pre-shaving and post-shaving.

Women should be the target demographic for your product idea.  Please be sure your idea has feminine appeal.

Your idea should be feasible for high-volume production (think about processing conditions and high speed manufacturing).

Your product idea should be able to survive in the typical “bathroom” / usage environment of a razor.  Think of the shower, where there is high humidity, exposure to chemicals from other products, etc.

Please include any references or background information related to your proposed material sources.  We want to understand what inspired your idea and review any relevant sources that support it!
