Tumor suppressor genes typically inhibit division of cancer cells and preventing tumor formation.Mutation in this gene result in loss of function so it is typically recessive. This means that tumor suppressor genes acts as brake  in formation of cancer cell. It prevents the growth of tumors. If one brake (one tumor suppressor gene) is defective it can still stop the car or cancer formation. However, since mutation in tumor suppressor gene is recessive, if two brakes are defective the car will not stop. Or the tumor will be expressed and be formed.

In most cases, the two major climatic factors affecting the distribution of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are __________.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

precipitation and temperature

Explanation:

Temperature and water are considered major abiotic factors that affect species distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. The temperature can affect the distribution of terrestrial organisms due to many species maintain a constant internal temperature, while other species maintain a body temperature range that may be very different from the environmental temperature, and therefore they will not be able to carry out their metabolic functions. Hibernation is an adaptation that allows some terrestrial animals to escape temperature fluctuations. Moreover, water is another limiting factor for life, since water is critical for cellular processes. The waxy cuticle is an adaptation that allows terrestrial plants to avoid excessive water loss through transpiration.

In facilitated diffusion, __________ proteins provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without cha
denpristay [2]

Answer: CHANNEL PROTEINS provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without changing structure, and CARRIER PROTEINS allow passage of substances through the plasma membrane after undergoing a subtle change in shape.

Explanation: They are described thus:

A channel protein is a protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane.

Carrier proteins are proteins that carry substances from one side of a biological membrane to the other. Many carrier proteins are found in a cell’s membrane, though they may also be found in the membranes of internal organelles such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleolus, and others.
