When we say oncogenes, these are genes that has the potential to cause cancer. These often undergo mutation and are expressed in very high levels. With this, the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost. When the normal controls over the cell cycle is lost, the cells would uncontrollably divide, grow and then form tumors. These cells no longer undergo the programmed cell death or also known as apoptosis. Hope this answer helps.

<span>#1) With reference to the role of oncogenes, explain how the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost.

Answer: The way that cell cycle can be lost is by going through changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. Cancer causes different types of mutations. There are two types of cell cycle regulators that can promote the development of cancer:

-Positive Regulators that can be over activated (become oncogenic).
-Negative Regulators (tumor suppressors) which can be inactivated.

I hope it helps, Regards. <span /><span>

The molecular basis of the Gram stain is the amount of _______ in the bacterial cell wall. bacteriophage spirochete peptidoglyca

Anna11 [10]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

peptidoglycan

The molecular basis of the Gram stain is the amount of<u> peptidoglycan</u> in the bacterial cell wall.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Gram stain is differential stain that is very useful for identifying and classifying bacteria as either gram negative or gram positive.
Gram negative are those that decolorize easily, such as E. coli, while Gram positive are those that retain the primary stain and do not decolorize easily.
The result depends on the bacteria cell wall structure, the cell wall of a Gram-negative bacterium is composed of 20 percent or less of peptidoglycan.

g If I see a decreased response after administration of repeated doses of a drug I might suspect that the cell has a) Up regulat

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

More than one of the above

Explanation:

I strongly recommend sticking with the prescribed dosage of a drug.

A drug works by binding itself to the receptor site of a cell or tissue by non-covalent interactions.

Repeated doses of the same drug however may make the drug start behaving as an inverse agonist by blocking (instead of binding) the receptor site of the cell thus inducing a reduced response instead of an increased response to the drug.
