Explanation:

B) False

Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer

Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.

Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer:

Energy is if not the most fundamental unit of everything, along with matter, space and time, thus it is one of the foundations of all science.

Explanation:

Energy in science is like words in a book, you could not read the book without words, similarly, there would be no way to do science without energy. Take this example You can only measure the *speed* of an object if it has energy.

We could look at biolgy and see how photosynthesis makes use of energy. In photosynthesis we see plant cells converting energy from the sun into usful sugars to help the plant grow.

Now we could look at astronomy and see how energy is used, If you observe stars you can see the different brightnesses and masses, which tells you alot about what type of energy conversion is happening inside the star (nuclear fusion).

Why is DNA referred to as the genetic code?<br>​
Gnesinka [82]

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.
