What is the relationship between proto-oncogenes and oncogenes?

Biology
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Oncogenes result from a mutation in  proto-oncogenes.

Explanation:

  • Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
  • The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
  • They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
  • Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
  • Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
  • Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.

A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:

  • A point mutation  such as deletion, insertion and substitution  in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
  • Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
  • Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
  • Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.

What would be the result IF DNA did not
stellarik [79]

Answer: The daughter cells develop after the cell division will have unequal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The interphase is the stage of the cell cycle in which the parent cell prepares itself for division. It increases in size and develops organelles for cell division. Before the cell division the replication of the genetic material in the form of DNA is necessary so that both daughter cells receive equal amount of genetic material after the cell splits by mitosis. Mitosis is a cell division in which the parent diploid cell splits into two haploid daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives the half the chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

How are the diverse living organisms within a biome dependent upon each other and the nonliving parts of their environment? Give
Basile [38]
An example that shows how organisms are dependent on each other would using a food chain as an example.
• mouse eat grass and drink water ( which is nonliving)
• mouse gets eaten by fox
• then fox then eaten by coyote and the cycle continues
However is one of these organisms have low population it will be difficult for the others. For example if there is a low population of coyotes then the fox population over populate same goes for if fox are low in population then the mouses become over populated hence diseases could spread from the mouses. The organisms must keep each other in check
