Which of the following genetic changes cannot convert a proto-oncogene into an oncogene? A mutation in the promoter of the proto

-oncogene, causing the normal protein to be transcribed and translated at an abnormally high level. A mutation that introduces a stop codon immediately after the codon for the initiator methionine. An amplification of the number of copies of the proto-oncogene, causing overproduction of the normal protein. A mutation within the coding sequence that makes the protein hyperactive. A genetic rearrangement where proto-oncogene coding sequence becomes fused with the promoter of a highly active promoter.

Answer:

A mutation that introduces a stop codon immediately after the codon for the initiator methionine.

Explanation:

Pro oncogene is a gene altered by mutation.

Activating mutation of one of the two alleles of a proto-oncogene is what converts it to an oncogene. This can induce transformation in cultured cells or cancer in animals. Activation of a proto-oncogene into an oncogene can occur by point mutation, gene amplification, and gene translocation.

Answer:

The correct option is B:

"A mutation that introduces a stop codon immediately after the codon for the initiator methionine."

Explanation:

There are multiple ways through which a proto-oncogene can get converted to an oncogene. It could either be due to a point mutation that occurs in the gene (or even its promoter), or amplification of the gene as a result of increased copies of the proto-oncogene that causes the normal protein to be produce in a larger quantity than needed. Gene translocation is yet another cause for its activation. However, a stop codon being introduced right after the start codon will not lead to activation of proto-oncogene, that will simply result in the production of a truncated, non-functional protein that will be degraded by the cellular machinery.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

The three processes that transfer energy over Earth's surface
daser333 [38]
I processes that transfer energy over Earth's surface are:
1) Conduction
2) Convection
3) Radiation
4) Latent Heat

Conduction is the transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler object through molecular interaction. As the Sun heats the ground, energy from the heated ground is transferred to the atmosphere by conduction.

Convection is the transfer of heat by mass movement of a fluid. Convection appears mostly in liquid and gases because they are free to move around. Heat is transferred upward and outward, away from the heat source, while cooler air is brought to replace the rising air.

Radiation is the final process of heat transfer. The energy received from the Sun, radiation, are absorbed by all objects that in turn radiates some of the energy back to its surroundings in a weaker form of energy called long wave radiation such as heat.

Later heat, also known as phase change, is the heat required to change phases. Example of phase change is water transforms from gas to liquid or solid or vice versa. For water to transform from liquid to gas, latent heat from the surrounding atmosphere is needed. In evaporation, water takes heat from the surrounding air in order to evaporated and become gas.

When human DNA molecules and chimpanzee DNA molecules are heated to separate the two sides of the molecules from each other and
Sloan [31]

Answer:

B. Humans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor.

Explanation:

Both the humans and Chimpanzees are the primates that are they belong to the same group called hominids and genus called Homo.

When the DNA sequences of the Chimpanzees and the Humans are sequenced and compared than they showed that 98% of the genome is similar.

In the given question, the single strands of the humans and the chimpanzees base-paired which showed that 98% of the nucleotide sequence is the same. The most possible reason for this similarity is that they both were evolved from the common ancestors and they diverged recently in the past.

Thus, Option-B is correct.
