<h2>Adenylyl Cyclase</h2>

Explanation:

The tumor cells most likely have an increased activity of enzyme Adenylyl cyclase.

Since the G alpha-S subunit lacks the GTPase activity, the GTP will not be hydrolized to GDP.As a result the activity of G protein or G subunit will not be inhibited. Thus their respective enzymes will remain active.

An increased activity of Gs Subunit  will thus lead to increased activity of enzyme adenylyl cyclase.

A stable population is defined as the number of individuals residing in an environment with a limited resources and the number of individuals residing more or less remains constant. In case of a population, there are different factors which tends to divert the population out of the stability, like immigration or emigration. Immigration is the addition of individuals to the population from outside which increases the population, and emigration is the loss of individuals which decrease the population. In case of a stable population, the number of immigrants and emigrants remain more or less same, which maintains a stable population.
