Examine the flow chart above depicting the job of a gene known as p53. It plays an important role during the G2 checkpoint of ce

ll cycle regulation. In 4-6 sentences, explain why p53 is often called "The Guardian of the Genome". Is p53 an oncogene (a gene that stimulates the growth of cancer cells) or a tumor suppressor gene (a gene that turns off the growth of cancer cells)? Explain your reasoning.

The p53 protein is known as the guardian of the genome because this protein prevents errors during DNA replication. It is a tumor suppressor gene.

<h3>Tumor suppressor genes </h3>

Tumor suppressor genes are genes that play fundamental cellular roles and prevent cell uncontrolled growth.

A tumor suppressor gene can repair errors that occurred during DNA replication, slow down the cycle of cell division, trigger programmed cell death, etc.

The p53 acts to control cell division and cell death, thereby avoiding the emergence of cancer cells.

  An organism takes care of its young and produces few offspring. What type of organism is this? 
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

K-strategists

Explanation:

Reproductive pattern in organisms can be typically categorised into two:

1. K- Strategy

2. R- Strategy

K-strategists are organisms that lives in very stable environments and gives birth to fewer organisms. Most of these organisms reproduce close the carrying capacity of their habitat. They offer support and protection to their progeny to the points where they become indepedent. The mortality rate is very low in such organisms and so is the birth rate too.

R-strategists are organisms whose main aim is to populate and dominate an environment. They reproduce exponentially and offers no life support to their progeny in their early developmental stage. They often occupy unstable and highly unpredictable environments. Most R organisms have a very low and short life expectancy. Since they produce more offspring and they live under adverse environments, mortality rate is high.

Examples of K-strategists are elephants and man

Examples of R-stategists are grasses and microbes.

Match the following terms and definitions.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>1. Oblong cells with unevenly thickened walls for support in young stems  →</em>

<em>Collenchyma </em><em>.</em>

<em>2. a waxy substance covering most surface areas of plants; helps to retain water  → </em><em>Cuticle</em><em>. </em>

<em>3. The youthful, undifferentiated cells of root and shoot tips and other plant parts that produce new cells for growth  → </em><em>Meristem </em><em>.</em>

<em>4. The most common plant cell, found in practically all parts of the plant body; important for food production, food storage, lateral transport, and other life processes; an almost round cell in some tissues  → </em><em>Parenchyma</em><em> .</em>

<em>5. Dermal layer made of dead cork cells  → </em><em>Periderm</em><em> .</em>

<em>6. Tiny holes in a cell wall which allow the passage of chemicals between cells  → </em><em>Plasmodesmata</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>This all refers to tissues found in plant organisms.</em>

  • In plants, the colenchyma is a supporting tissue, composed mainly of elongated, irregularly walled living cells with a large amount of cellulose. Their composition and the way they are arranged - with longitudinal interlacing - give the tissue strength and resistance. It represents one of the three basic tissues of plants.
  • Cuticles of plant tissue are formed by an oily secretion from the epidermal cells, forming a waxy, impermeable and protective layer, which prevents the entry of foreign organisms and reduces the loss of water from the plant. The cuticles are mainly composed of cutin molecules associated with wax.
  • Meristematic tissue represents a group of undifferentiated cells with great capacity to multiply, differentiate and provide growth and development to a plant. It is a tissue with unlimited growth capacity, which allows the plant to always replace the damaged tissue and grow indefinitely.
  • Parenchyma of plant organisms are tissues that are found in most of these organisms, allowing multiple functions, such as the drying of substances, storage and photosynthesis. The parenchyma is generally formed by thin-walled living cells that can adapt to any vital function of plants.
  • Periderm constitutes the outer coating of a plant or bark, functionally replacing the epidermis. This tissue is located after the secondary phloem, and is composed of cork, specifically phellem, phellogen and phelloderm.
  • Plasmodesmata are a type of microscopic channel that crosses the plant wall, being a link for intercellular communication, as well as the transport of nutrients.
