Which of the following statements about proto-oncogenes is false? - Proto-oncogenes are normal genes with the potential to becom

e oncogenes. A mutation must occur in a cell's DNA for a proto-oncogene to become an oncogene. Many proto-oncogenes code for growth factors. If a proto-oncogene's gene product is produced in smaller quantities, a cell may become cancerous.

Answer:

If a proto-oncogene's gene product is produced in smaller quantities, a cell may become cancerous.

Explanation:

The transformation of a cell to a malign cell occurs by mutations accumulation in some specific genes. These genes are grouped into two groups or families:

  • Protooncogenes
  • Tumor suppressor genes

Protooncogenes direct the production of proteins of varying locations and functions that play a significant role in cell proliferation and differentiation. The proteins include cyclins, growth factors, receptors, etcetera. These genes are proteins codifiers and influence the cell cycle by favoring proliferation or inhibiting senescence and apoptosis.

Depending on the organism´s development stage, these genes can be physiologically active or reprimed.

Certain structural or functional changes in protooncogenes contribute to turning them into oncogenes. When protooncogenes mutate into oncogenes, they are capable of controlling cell multiplication and massively synthesize uncontrolled division triggers.

A star is not considered born until the process of nuclear fusion
jonny [76]
Star is a brilliantly glowing sphere of hot gas whose energyis produced by an internalnuclear fusion process. Stars are contained in galaxies. A galaxy contains not only stars, but clouds of gas and dust. These clouds are callednebulae, and it is in a nebula where stars are born. In the nebula is hydrogen gas which is pulled together by gravityand starts to spin faster. Over millions of years, more hydrogen gas is pulled into the spinning cloud. The collisions which occur between the hydrogen atoms starts to heat the gas in the cloud. Once the temperature reaches 15,000,000 degrees Celsius, nuclear fusion takes place in the center, or core, of the cloud. The tremendous heat given off by the nuclear fusion process causes the gas to glow creating a protostar. This is the first step in the evolution of a star. The glowing protostar continues to accumulate mass. The amount of mass it can accumulate is determined by the amount ofmatter available in the nebula. Once its mass is stabilized, the star is known as a main sequence star. The new star will continue to glow for millions or even billions of years. As it glows, hydrogen is converted into helium in the core by nuclear fusion. The core starts to become unstable and it starts to contract. The outer shell of the star, which is still mostly hydrogen, starts to expand. As it expands, it cools and starts to glow red. The star has now reached the red giant phase. It is red because it is cooler than the protostar phase and it is a giant because the outer shell has expanded outward. All stars evolve the same way up to the red giant phase. The amount of mass a star has determines which of the following life cycle paths the star will take.

How do paleontologist learn about evolution ?
DanielleElmas [232]
Paleontologists can identify organisms that may be ancient relatives of those living today. By looking at fossils they can also suggest how these organisms lived together in an ancient habitat. Few organisms become fossilized because the circumstances that an organism has to be in is very specific.

differentiate between Acute and chronic diseases ...(minimum 5 points each)......pls help fast ....i have my exam tomorrow
Viefleur [7K]
Acute diseases are sudden, severe, and short term only. They quickly appear and worsen without warning and they disappear. Examples of this are flu or colds.  

Chronic diseases, on the other hand, are long-developing diseases. The symptoms have been present for long time and it worsens as time progresses. Examples of this are Osteoporosis and heart disease.
