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

meriva

Answer:

Generation of an action potential in the neuron.

Stimulation of Ca2+ entry into the neuron

Release of acetylcholine into the synapse

Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane

Explanation:

The following events takes place in the vertebrate neuromuscular junction

a) Nerve Action Potential - Action potential reaches the axon terminal

b) Entry of calcium ion - The calcium ion reaches the axon terminal and enter into the presynaptic terminus after which the Synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of axon terminal

c) Releasing of Arch Quanta - Acetylcholine is released into synaptic cleft which then  binds to the receptor sites on motor end plate

d) The  Na+/K+ channels opens and Motor end plate becomes depolarized.

To solve a problem using the equation for Kepler’s third law, Enrico must convert the average distance of Mars from the Sun from
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:Enrico must multiply the distance of mars from sun (meters) with the 6.6844\times 10^{-12} to convert the distance in astronomical units.

Explanation:

1 astronomical unit  = 1.496\times 10^{11} m

1m=\frac{1}{1.496\times 10^{11} } AU=6.6844\times 10^{-12} AU

Let the distance between the sun and Mars be Y( meters)

Distance in AU= Y\times 6.6844\times 10^{-12} AU

Enrico must multiply the distance of mars from sun (meters) with the 6.6844\times 10^{-12} to convert the distance in astronomical units.
