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

 1.The nucleus is often considered to be the cell's control center.
(because it contains the DNA)

2.The cytoplasm consists of everything inside the plasma membrane of the cell.
(actually it excludes the nucleus)

 3.The plasma membrane forms a boundary between the inside and outside of the cell. - it controls what can enter and what can't!


4.The cytoskeleton is essentially a "skeleton" inside the cell..
it maintains the form of the cell

5.The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with
Ribosomes -they make the proteins!


6.Lysosomes use enzymes to break down foreign matter and dead cells.

 7.plant cells cells specifically have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.-choloplasts are only found in plants!

Is it true that the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources called natural selection
OverLord2011 [107]

False. That is competiton, the stuggle between different species to survive with limited resources. Natural selection is when they organisms with traits that help them survive pass them (the traits) on through reproduction. This makes their valuable traits possible to rise in their offspring.

Which clade is composed of eukaryotes which are multicellular and heterotrophs?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Animal clade

Explanation:

<em>A clade is used to refer to all members of group of organisms that share the same ancestor.</em>

Animals are the only group of living organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular as well as heterotrophic in nature.

They are eukaryotic because their cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast.

They are multicellular because their bodies are made up of more than one cells. The simplest animal (sponge) is made up of several cells while the most complex animal (human) is made up of millions of cells.

Animals are heterotrophs because they lack the capacity to manufacture their own food. They depend on external source for their food. Particular, animals ingest their foods, digest it internally and egest undigested food/waste materials.

Mama L [17]

By predicting how the sodium-potassium pump becomes integrated into outer cell membrane. The prediction that is false is the mRNA coding into sodium pump is translated into the pump on two ribosomes.

<h3>What is sodium-potassium pump?</h3>

The sodium-potassium pump is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) present in the membrane of all animal cells. It is also known as sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase, Na+/K+-ATPase, or sodium-potassium ATPase. It serves a number of purposes in cell physiology.

The enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase is activated (i.e. it uses energy from ATP). Three sodium ions are exported and two potassium ions are imported for each ATP molecule used by the pump. As a result, each pump cycle results in the net export of one positive charge.

There are four distinct sodium pump isoforms or subtypes in mammals. Each has distinct qualities and patterns of tissue expression. The P-type ATPase family includes this enzyme.
