Answer:

PFFT this might help? sorry if not mate

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoint controls play a major role in preventing the development of cancer [see Sherr, 1994, for a more detailed discussion]. Major checkpoints occur at the G1 to S phase transition and at the G2 to M phase transitions. Cancer is a genetic disease that arises from defects in growth-promoting oncogenes and growth-suppressing tumor suppressor genes. The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a role in both the G1/S phase and G2/M phase checkpoints. The mechanism for this activity at the G1/S phase checkpoint is well understood, but its mechanism of action at the G2/M phase checkpoint remains to be elucidated. The p53 protein is thought to prevent chromosomal replication specifically during the cell cycle if DNA damage is present. In addition, p53 can induce a type of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, under certain circumstances. The general goal of p53 appears to be the prevention of cell propagation if mutations are present. The p53 protein acts as a transcription factor by binding to certain specific genes and regulating their expression. One of these, WAF1 or Cip1, is activated by p53 and is an essential downstream mediator of p53-dependent G1/S phase checkpoint control. The function of p53 can be suppressed by another gene, MDM2, which is overexpressed in certain tumorigenic mouse cells and binds to p53 protein, thus inhibiting its transcriptional activation function. Other cellular proteins have been found to bind to p53, but the significance of the associations is not completely understood in all cases. The large number of human cancers in which the p53 gene is altered makes this gene a good candidate for cancer screening approaches.

Answer:

A. Lancelet

B. All chordates

Explanation:

A. Dorsal nerve chord is the only <u>unique feature</u> among all members of <u>phylum chordata</u> (mainly found in subphylum Vertebrata). In the given list, only lacelet is the Chordate whereas <u>snail belongs to phylum Mollusca</u>, <u>grasshopper belongs to Arthropda</u>, and <u>jellyfish belongs to Cnidaria</u>. Dorsal nerve cord runs along the length of organism's body.

B. <u>Gill slits</u> are <u>opening structures</u> to gills through which water passes from pharynx/throat to exterior. Their main purpose is to help filter the food particles available in surrounding water. Although they are typical for amphibians and fishes, chordates also possess gill slits at embryonic stages.

Which statements explain the gas exchange that happens at the alveoli? Check all that apply.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gas exchange occurs at the alveoli in the lungs and takes place by diffusion. The alveoli are surrounded by capillaries so oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
