oncogene
they can be both if the mutant gene causes the organism to have a new property which improves its life it is helpful and evolution occurs since due to natural selection offspring having the mutant quality will be produced. on the other hand if a mutant gene causes a deformity, or a weakness it is harmful. for example cancer cells, which eventually form a tumour are the result of mutation
oncogenic is a causing or tending to cause the formation and development of tumors --causes cancer. :)
Scientists were studying a mutant gene.
This is called bicoid mutant phenotype, and is caused by a maternal effect gene which is a gene that, when mutant in the mother, results in a mutant phenotype of the offspring regardless of the offspring's genotype.
No
The difference between a structural gene and a nonstructural gene can be explained that structural gene is a gene encoding the amino acid sequence of a protein. Non-regulatory gene. A structural gene is a gene that codes for any RNA or protein product other than a regulatory element (i.e. regulatory protein)and then it makes proteins in the cell. However, the nonstructural gene is different from structure gene, for example (nonstructural gene)NS1 Influenza Protein is created by the internal protein encoding, linear negative-sense, single stranded RNA, NS gene segment; which found in Influenzavirus A, Influenzavirus B and Influenzavirus C;
a repressor protein
Yes.When a human is born with the mutant gene you are a mutant. But if you get the abilities later in life(ex.Spiderman) you are mutated.
In low oxygen gene regulatory protein called HIF-1 stimulates the transcription of the VEGF gene, the Vascular endothelial growth factor. This causes the endothelial cells to use proteases to digest there way through and bring new blood to the cells. This can also happen in cancers cells and this how cancer tumors can become vascularized. In a disorder called VHL - Von hippel-lindau. They are only born with one functioning copy of the VHL gene, mutations occur and they get random cancer throughout there body.
Yes, you can get cancer from simply one inhale of a cigarette. Everyone has the gene that causes cancer, but not everyone's gene becomes active. Some peoples cancerous gene can trigger automatically from never smoking or living in a smokers house. All it takes is your body to trigger the gene and make it cancerous and active for you to then have cancer. So trying a cigarette for a first time or smoking for 50 years. It doesn't matter if when why or how long, anyone can get cancer.
In the Marvel Universe, mutants like Storm are born with a special gene, referred to as the X-Gene. Usually when a mutant reaches puberty their powers and physical mutants appear.
