Answer:
E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.
Explanation:
Activated Ras has GTP bound to it, this propagates an intracellular signal to the nucleus where cell proliferation is induced. Thereafter proliferation is switched off by the hydrolysis of the bound GTP to GDP.
Therefore decreasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis causes Ras to remain active, ultimately leading to uncontrollable proliferation characteristic of cancer.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A meteorite is a meteor that impacted the Earth.
Kinases. Kinases add phosphate to molecules, and the modification can serve as a "switch" to turn events in the cell on or off. CDKs or cyclin dependent kinases regulate the cell cycle.
