using the gas pedal analogy explain the impact on the cell cycle of a proto-oncogene versus an oncogene

Biology

rusak2 [61]3 years ago
3 0

Using the gas pedal analogy, the proto-oncogene would be an accelerator since they promote cell division and deregulate apoptosis, while tumor suppressor would be the brakes since they constrain the progress of the cell cycle and induce cell apoptosis. An oncogene is, therefore, when the accelerator is stuck in down position and the brakes are not working.

Use what you know about atmospheric circulation and seasonal changes in the sun’s orientation to earth to explain the highly sea
viva [34]

Answer:

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)region gets the most direct sunlight at any given period in time. This in turn causes air to be unstable with a drop in pressure and rise of air which cools and condenses into clouds to form precipitation causing the wet season in the tropics.

In this region, the sun is directly or almost overhead as seen during summer periods in the tropics.

Only in areas of the North and South of the ITCZ known as doldrums which at times are parallel to the ITCZ do we have high pressure that aren't conducive to precipitation causing dry season in the tropics.

In the ITCZ zone, we also have the tropical rain forests along the equator with huge amount of all round rain for the year.

Along the equator, on either side of the rain forests we have the dry and wet forests with the savannah to the North of this region and the southern hemisphere to the south of these forests since these forests are seen mostly in the ITCZ than the savannahs.

Rain shadows and ocean cueeebts may at times cause some savannahs to be along the equator and some rain forests -wet and dry forests- to be positioned further form the equator.

What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?
eimsori [14]
Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
