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.

Build a model of a prokaryotic cell using any material of your choice. In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea. You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Next, build a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format. You may need to add rows to your table depending on the type of prokaryote you model.

(This is a 2-part work, Part 1 is done, only Part 2 is to be worked on at the bottom)Part 1 (Done): Describe the levels of structural hierarchy for the human body, starting with the organismal level and ending with the chemical level. In addition, you should make sure you link each level to the previous level, emphasizing the structural relationships. The human body is organized into a structural hierarchy that progresses from the macroscopic organismal level down to the microscopic chemical level. Each level builds upon the previous one, creating increasingly complex structures. Below is the hierarchy, from largest to smallest, with explanations linking each level to its predecessor:   1. Organismal Level The entire living human body.Relationship: All lower levels work together to sustain life at this highest level.   2. Organ System Level Groups of organs working together to perform major functions.Examples: circulatory, nervous, digestive systems.Relationship: The organismal…
