6 0

The answer is; Pepsin


Pepsin is first secreted by the chief cells of the stomach wall and the inactive precursor called pepsinogen. When pepsinogen interacts with the acidic environment of the stomach due to hydrochloric acid, it is turned to pepsin. The pepsin breaks down large protein molecules to smaller molecules.

Answer:

According to the diagram, cell growth and preparation occur in steps 2 and 4, corresponding to phases G₁ and G₂ of cell cycle.

Explanation:

G₁ phase consists of the beginning of the cell cycle, following the process of previous division, and occurs in a cell that prepares for a next division. In this phase growth depends on the proliferation of mRNA to increase protein synthesis.

G₂ phase —third phase of the cycle— is the continuation of the process of cell growth induced by protein synthesis. Changes occur at the level of cellular components, as preparation of the cell prior to division.

Explain its normal role and why scientists would regard it as the "guardian of the genome."
Burka [1]
The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.
