Answer:

d. disrupt the function of protein kinases involved in cell cycle regulation.

Explanation:

Protein kinases which are useful in cell cycles have major roles in the formation of tumors. So many of these protein kinases go through mutations. Cell cycles would be unable to be stoped and tumor would keep increasing.

A lot of receptors are G protein coupled. So it is going to be really helpful to alter and make G protein receptors to be inactive. Most if these kinases go through means of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Targeting these would cause disruption in signal transduction in cells with cancer

Why do sexually reproducing organisms need gametes? Why don’t asexually reproducing organisms need them?

Nana76 [90]

Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Sexual reproduction needs zygotes to reproduce that is why gametes are needed. Asexual reproduction doesn’t need gametes because there is only one parent and there is no fusion of gametes.

Which structure is perforated with pores to allow material to move in and out of the nucleus?.

erastovalidia [21]

The nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

Every cell in the body has a nucleus, except for mature erythrocytes (red blood cells). While some cells contain more than one nucleus such as skeletal muscle and some other cells contain several nuclei.

The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus. i. e. largest organelle of the cell. It has a similar structure to that of

the plasma membrane. But the nuclear envelope contains tiny pores that allow a few substances to pass between it and outside the cytoplasm, i.e. the cell contents excluding the nucleus.

Therefore, the nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

To know more about the nucleus, refer to the below link:
