Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The deep parts of an ocean receive minimal or no sunlight. Hence, the survival of phototropic organisms like plants and algae is impossible or minimal here. Hence, there is a very little diversity in deep oceans. The organisms living here have to feed on dead decaying matter or on each other for survival. Mostly, the organisms living here use dead organisms as food. No other food source is available here.
Answer: Lungs
Explanation:
Examples of endocrine organs include the pancreas, which produces the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate blood-glucose levels, the adrenal glands, which produce hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine that regulate responses to stress, and the thyroid gland, which produces thyroid hormones that regulate to the Lungs.
Answer:
Explanation:
given cells at incubation = 2 million (2 x 10^6) Staph
cells at the start of incubation = 200 Staph
Total time =6hrs = 360minutes
Recalling that Number of generations = Log(cells at incubation) - Log (cells at the start of incubation)/0.301
- Number of generations = Log 2000000 - log 200 /0.301
= 20.93 generations.
- hence generation time = total time/number of generations
= 360/20.93 = 17.20minutes
as said, that the apple pie is left after 2hrs, it implies 8hrs (480minutes) will be the new total time; number of generations = total time / generation time
= 480/17.20minutes = 27.90 generations
- hence total number of bacteria after 8hrs = 2^n generations x initial number of bacteria
= 2^27.90 x 200 staph = 5.009 x 10^10 bacteria
Hi there! The answer and explanation are below.
The advantage that wind and solar technology have over coal and oil is that they save the environment and require less money. Wind energy and solar energy is naturally generated. But, coal and oil needs workers and processing in factories. The gases these factories releass are toxic to the environment.
