Answer:

tumor suppressor gene

Explanation:

A tumor suppressor gene is capable of modulating cellular processes during cell division and/or replication, thereby avoiding uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor development. For example, the p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a protein (p53) which is well known to regulate critical cellular processes such as, for example, cell cycle arrest and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Moreover, breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor genes that regulate the repair of damaged DNA through the Homologous recombination (HR) pathway. In consequence, mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Mr. Malone is going into a shock because of blood loss, so paramedics infuse a saline solution. Why would this help?
fredd [130]
Saline solutions have the same or close to the same amount of salt as our blood does, so we get the amount of salt needed for our bodies. During blood loss, you lose the salt you need, so they're basically adding it back in with the saline solution, making your electrolyte balance go back to normal level. It also gives us the right amount of water to keep us hydrated.

What is agricultural monoculture and why is that bad for crops?
Katarina [22]
<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

<h3>Modern monoculture requires vast amounts of rain for irrigating crops as moisture retention is limited in the soil. A lack of topsoil also increases rain runoff. To achieve this vast amount of extra water it means draining from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, which is exhausting natural resources and aquatic ecosystems.</h3>

A student claims that if the animal producing the spermatozoa has a mutation in a mitochondrial gene, the probability that any o
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The student is wrong, spermatozoa are germinal cells and therefore mitochondrial mutations (likewise genomic nuclear mutations) are inherited by offspring

Explanation:

Although the probabilities of inheriting a mutation from a single sperm cell are low, it since an organism produces millions of sperm cells throughout its life span, the mutations in the germinal cells (i.e., sperms and ovules) are inherited by offspring
