The Ras protein found in tumors usually cause which of the following events to occur excessive cell division.
<h3>How does Ras oncogene contribute to cancer?</h3>
Ras genes codes for proteins that can drive cancer when mutated.
All Ras proteins are GTPases which work as molecular regulators in the cell, controlling signaling pathways and other interactions.
Thus, option "A" is correct.

Answer:
Option B, chemical energy to thermal energy
Explanation:
All living organism feed on food that contains energy in the form of chemical energy. Once the food is intake and processed for fulfilling energy requirement of all metabolic processes with in a cell, the remaining energy is released as heat (thermal energy). Thus, an amoeba while consuming a sugar molecule converts chemical energy with in the sugar to thermal energy in the form of energy molecules.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
obesity increases blood pressure
Explanation:
This is because the high fat percentage in the body has lead to a build up of fat on the inside of arteries and this makes them thinner. the heart has to pump harder to get the blood around the body and through these, now smaller arteries. therefore yes having diabetes does increase blood pressure.
other factors which increase blood pressure are high stress levels, smoking, anxiety.
Answer:
C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered
Explanation:
Frameshift mutations refer to the mutations that change the reading frame of the gene. Frameshift mutations are mostly caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide since addition or loss of nucleotide alters all the codons present downstream of the point of the mutation site. If frameshift mutation occurs at the beginning of the protein sequence, all the downstream amino acids would be altered.
The changed amino acid sequence would alter the primary structure of the protein. Since the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is determined by interactions between the R groups of amino acids, their polarity, charge, etc., the altered amino acid sequence would also alter secondary, and tertiary of the protein.
