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

Biology
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]2 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.

The phase during which sister chromatids aggregate along the equator of the cell is called ________
vova2212 [387]

The phase during which sister chromatids aggregate along the equator of the cell is called the metaphase.

The image shows the process of cell division through mitosis. The mother cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells in mitosis. There are four main phases in the mitosis process. They are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In the metaphase, the highly condensed sister chromatids line up along the equator of the cell by binding to the microtubles that form the skeleton of the cell. These kinetochores line up the chromatids at the equator to initiate their separation.

List the sequence of events involved in the alternation of generations in land plants
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>The sequence of alternation of generation is; gametes->zygote->sporophyte->spores->gametophyte->gametes. The attached diagram shows clearly this looped cycle. Alternation of generation occurs in a more advanced land plant that has distinct haploid and diploid phases in their life cycle. The diploid phase usually involves the sporophyte while the haploid phase involves the gametophyte</span>

José has just played a long, bruising football game but feels little fatigue or discomfort. His lack of pain is most likely caus
lilavasa [31]
José probably doesn't feel any pain because his body, during and after exercise released endorphins which are endogenous opioids. This endorphins promote a sense of satisfaction and pleasure, and make pain and discomfort feel irrelevant.
