PROTO-ONCOGENES are corresponding normal cellular genes to an oncogene that is responsible for normal cell growth and division.
An oncogene refers to a gene that is capable of causing cancer due to damage to the DNA molecule either by virus or other DNA damaging agents. A proto oncogene is the normal version of the gene while an oncogene is the abnormal version of the concerned gene.

A gene that code for proteins and responsible for normal cell growth and division is called proto-oncogenes. Mutations in proto-oncogenes can lead to an increase in protein expression or produce too many copies of it and become oncogene that can contribute to cancer cells. Furthermore, proto-oncogenes have many various roles in the cell. Some of them provide signals that lead to cell division and others regulate programmed cell death.

There is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of the pigment responsible for dark fur color in siamese cats and himalayan rab

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Light brown colour will be appear.

Explanation:

If the rabbit raised at 20 c then the rabbit gain brown colour because the pigment which is responsible for the dark colour does not work due to increase in temperature. Enzymes are those substances which speedup the chemical reaction so when the temperature becomes higher, the enzyme did not function properly and the colour pigment gives light brown colour to the rabbit.

Hunt and her team designed an experiment to test her hypothesis about the effect of BPA on mice. They administered daily doses o

katovenus [111]

Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.

An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:

Control Group doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
Treatment Group receives the treatment;

For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the others are treatment group.

The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:

Independent Variable is the cause;
Dependent Variable is the effect;

For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, dosage of BPA is the independent variable and time is the dependent variable.
