Which pathway is affected by an inherited mutation in the atm gene?

Biology
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
7 0

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

photoreactivation

reactivation repair pathway

nucleotide excision repair pathway

UV repair pathway

p53 repair pathway

Answer:

p53 repair pathway

Explanation:

ATM gene or ataxia telangiectasia-mutated is a gene which codes for the protein kinase involved in the DNA double-stranded break.

The DNA double-stranded break is repaired easily as the protein kinase is recruited to the site of the break where it allows the DNA repair machinery to repair the DNA.

The gene also controls the cell growth therefore this gene is important to study cancer.  Since the p53 protein is a suppressor protein which if mutated is repaired by the ATM gene and if the gene becomes mutated then the p53 repair pathway is affected.

Thus, p53 repair pathway is the correct answer.

Which cell junctions form a barrier to the passage of materials?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is - tight junctions.

Explanation:

Tight junctions are one of the cell-cell junctions that make a barrier to the passage of material which is a present in epithelia. This barrier is impermeable to most of the materials with soluble molecules. This barrier is made up of the occludin and claudin proteins.

Tight epithelia have tight junctions and examples of such junctions are the distal convoluted tubule or DCT, and the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidney.

Thus, the correct answer is - tight junctions.

Briefly explain what clues to look for to tell if a cell is in each of the following phases of mitosis:
k0ka [10]

Answer:prophase----the chromosomes shorten and thicken.the nuclear membrane has open up and the nucleolus has disappeared

Metaphase----the chromosomes migrate to the central plane of the cell and attach to the spindle fibres microtubules

Anaphase---the chromatids of each chromosomes part and move towards opposite poles of the spindle as the spindle fibres shorten

Telophase----the chromatids are in the polar end of the spindle .the spindle breaks down,the centrioles replicate,the nuclear membrane is reformed,the chromosomes gradually uncoil.
