Strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that cause cervical cancer express many genes that the cervical cells that they infect

do not. One of these viral genes encodes a protein that binds to and inactivates p53, increasing the chances of the infected cell becoming cancerous. Which of the following is an accurate description of this viral protein?
The viral protein is amplifying p53 activity.
The viral protein is a mutagen.
The viral protein is a tumor suppressor.
The viral protein is the product of an oncogene.

Answer:

Definitely, the viral protein is a mutagen

Explanation:

A mutagen is any agent or substance that can cause genetic mutation, that may lead to cancer.

Because it is important for cells in the human body to suppress cancer, the body cells including cervical cells has a "guard" that conserves stability by preventing genetic mutation, this "guard" is known as p53. p53 is usually known as tumour suppressor gene

Strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) must have released a viral protein (mutagen) that would inactivated p53 from carrying out its duties of: DNA repair, DNA damage recognition, and programmed cell death (if DNA repair is impossible) in the cervical cells

Answer:

1. B.

2. B.

3. A.

Explanation:

1. So, the mother does not but the father does carry the gene for polydactyly. Which means that, the offspring was born Pp and, the dominant trait (P) was exposed.

2. A heterozygous trait is one that has both allele forms (in this case, d and D. If both of the parents are Dd, the offspring will also be Dd, and therefore, he has 1/2 chance of being born deaf.

3. Both you and your spouse will be heterozygous (Ee), therefore, since unattached earlobes are dominant

3.1 When two heterozygous traits are bred, you will get the following combinations: yy, Yy, Yy and YY. Which means that your offspring had a 1/4 chance of having attached earlobes, and that is what happened.

3.2 The third option is incorrect, because when you breed 2 homozygous recessive (ee) traits, all of your offspring will be homozygous recessive (ee), which means that the parents would have to be homozygous recessive, but, they cannot since the dominant trait has applied to them.

From which part of the pituitary are hypothalamic hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (adh) and oxytocin released?
tatyana61 [14]
<span>The correct answer is posterior pituitary.</span>

ADH (AntiDiuretic Hormone) or Vasopressin is a peptide hormone which is produced in the hypothalamus. ADH is released from vesicles inside the cells of posterior pituitary into the circulation. ADH is released as a response of hyperosmolality of extracellular fluid. It increases the reabsorption of water in kidneys and constricts the blood vessels.

Oxytocin is also peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It has a role in sexual reproduction.
