Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Apoptosis: Programmed cell death genes

Explanation of Solution

Apoptosis is also called programmed cell death. It sustain the balance of cells in the human body which is important for the immune system.

Introduction:

Mutation process in the oncogenes results in the cancer.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Oncogenes: Mutations in these genes are factor dominant for cancer formation

Explanation of Solution

The oncogenes occur as protooncogenes at a cellular level. The protooncogenes carry normal function of cell proliferation. The mutations in the oncogenes causes cancer. It results in unlimited growth of cells.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Signal transduction: Series of steps by which a message is protein kinases transmitted

Explanation of Solution

Signal transduction is a sequence of reactions through which a message is transmitted. The reactions are stimulated by the interaction between the cell and its surface receptor.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Checkpoints: Control progress in the cell cycle in response to DNA damage

Explanation of Solution

The cell has a repair mechanism to correct the DNA damage. These control points are called as check points. Different checkpoints are present throughout the cycle so that mutated DNA is not divided or replicated.
