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.

Lipid is one of the major classes of biomolecules needed by the body. The body breaks down the lipids that we consume to create
Darina [25.2K]
So the breakdown of lipids actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva has this little enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down these fats into something called diglycerides. These diglycyerides then make there way to the intestines, where they stimulate the pancreas to release lipase (another fat breaking enzyme!) and the pancreas to release bile. The bile and pancreatic juices both work together to break these diglycerides into fatty acids. It’s helpful to know some of the root words. Glycerol- the framework to which the fatty acids stick. Glyceride- think of this guy as several fatty acids stuck to a glycerol. Lipids- think fats, and their derivatives (our glyceride friends.) tri/di/mono- these are just number prefixes! Lipids are one glycerol molecule, and then either one, two, or three fatty acids attached, which is where you get mono(1)/di(2)/tri(3)glyceride from. I know this was long, but hopefully it helps!

Grade II Concussion

The brain is made of soft tissue. It's cushioned by spinal fluid and encased in the protective shell of the skull. When you sustain a concussion, the impact can jolt your brain. Sometimes, it literally causes it to move around in your head. Traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, damage to the blood vessels, and injury to the nerves.
