Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor
Explanation:
A. Shine-Dalgarno Sequence:
- This is a binding site found in the messenger RNA (mRNA) in prokaryotic organisms. It is found upstream of the start codon AUG and aids in the initiation of protein synthesis
B. SRP:
- Signal Recognition Protein (SRP). This acts by binding to the bacterial ribosome, which as a result restricts protein synthesis.
C. NLS:
- Nuclear Localisation Signal is a short amino acid sequence, which is responsible for transporting proteins from the cell cytoplasm into the nucleus. The NLS is also responsible for the development of the nuclear envelope of the cell.
D. Ubiquitin:
- Found predominately in Eukaryota, the ubiquitin is a protein that aids in the control of other proteins within the organism.
E. Specificity Factor:
- Also known as the sigma factor, is responsible for the initiation of bacterial transcription. It is recycled during the transcription process and is only required at the initiation of transcription.
F. CRP:
- cAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) is involved in catabolite (glucose) repression and serves as an inducer in the process.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of the chart referred to in the question. However, what appears to be the case is that the three nitrogenous bases represent codons (and the missing chart is the codon chart). The mutation that has the potential to cause more damage will be the one that would change the amino acid formed from the codon change.
A. CAU to CAC: The codons CAU and CAC both form the amino acid histidine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.
B. UGU to UGC: The codons UGU and UGC both form the amino acid cysteine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.
C. UCU to UUU: <u>Codon UCU forms the amino acid serine while the codon UUU forms the amino acid phenylalanine</u>. Thus, this eventual change in the amino acid formed has the potential to cause a major damage and thus option C is the correct option.
NOTE that a codon is a sequence of three DNA/RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a single amino acid.
Answer:
B. a nucleus
Explanation:
cell walls and chloroplast are both found in plant cells, not in animal cells
