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

What happens when an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient are applying opposite forces to active transport?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Option B, they negate each other

Explanation:

Electrical gradient force is more or less equal to the chemical gradient during an active transport. The number of electron produced during the establishment of chemical gradients, were transferred through the cellular circuit to produce electrical gradient of an equivalent amount in opposite path.

Thus, both electrical and chemical gradient are opposite to each other and hence they negate out each other.
