Oncogenes result from turning on, or activating proto oncogenes. Proto oncogenes are genes that code for positive cell cycle regulators, so proto oncogenes code for proteins that turn on cell division. Proto oncogenes are normal genes, but when they are mutated, they become oncogenes. Oncogenes are expressed too much, which makes them turn on cell division too much, which is cancer.
Answer:
The cell membrane is an important factor for homeostasis to happen.
Explanation:
Because the cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents that passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell.
DNA ligase is an enzyme that repairs irregularities or breaks in the backbone of double-stranded DNA molecules. It has important role in the process of DNA replication and DNA repair. It has three general functions: It seals repairs in the DNA, it seals recombination fragments, and it connects Okazaki fragments (small DNA fragments formed during the replication of double-stranded DNA). DNA ligase functions by forming a bond between the end of a “donor” nucleotide and the end of an “acceptor” nucleotide.
- DNA and RNA are made up of monomers called nucleotides. - DNA and RNA both have 3 nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. - DNA and RNA both have a phosphate groups in their nucleotides. Sometimes called phosphoric acid.Feb 18, 2009
Explanation:
The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca.
</em>
In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:
1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.
2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.
3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.
