Answer:

A

Explanation:

The reason the deletion of a nucleotide can be a lethal mutation is that it causes a frameshift mutation. This is due to teh fact that the codon sequence on the DNA is shifted by a single nucleotide. Therefore, the codons will read differently downstream from the place the deletion happened. The amino acids coded for by these codons will change too. The translated proteins will be defective and the organisms will be adversely affected, phenotypically.

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important feature of a dividing cell to reduce errors that can occur in various stages of the cell
saveliy_v [14]

Loss of Rb, an important part of the G1-S transition checkpoint, can result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer. All of the following would mimic loss of Rb except constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein. Correct answer: letter E.

Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not mimic loss of Rb, because it would not directly result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression.

<h3>What is Retinoblastoma (RB)?</h3>

Rb is an important tumor suppressor protein that works to inhibit cell cycle progression by preventing the activation of E2F transcription factors. Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not directly interfere with the Rb-E2F pathway, which is necessary for uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer.

If carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plants environment , what would you expect to happen to the plants production of
Zigmanuir [339]
The plant's production of high-energy sugars would reduce significantly. I'm not going to say that the plant would completely stop producing the sugars because it has to respire, and one product of respiration would be carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide would be recycled so that the plant can photosynthesize and produce sugars.
