Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer is A.

Explanation:

Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.

I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or  growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that  leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!

What are the three stages of the cell cycle?
eimsori [14]
In the cells with nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into three periods which are: Interphase- the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. During interphase the cell growth accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA

Scientists cannot define life, but they can list characteristics that are true of all life
pychu [463]
What are you asking for here? we need a solid question not a statement.

i'd say that the statement is true. we cant define life because we do not know what life, in essence, is. we can define, however, the characteristice of all living things:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Nutrition
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth
