What process is the protein product of the Ras proto oncogene involved in?

you will have to be more specific
There is a point mutation in the k-ras oncogene, and about 60% have a mutation in the p53 so you can develop cancer in the colon by many polyps.

Is replication the prOcess of protein formation directed by rRNA?
check you question . . replication is not the process involved in protein formaiton !! The process by which protein forms in by transcription and translation and rRna is involved in the process of translation(assembly of ribosomes to be specific) Check you question before posting
Is protein a product?
We can consider a protein as a product because comes from a "process" of production that in biochemistry is known as "protein synthesis" or, in molecular biology, as "translation".
What process are both DNA and rna involved in?
Protein synthesis
What is proto-oncogen?
An oncogene is a modified gene, or a set of nucleotides that codes for a protein and is believed to cause cancer.
What is von Willebrand factor?
A protein found in the blood that is involved in the process of blood clotting.
When DNA codes results in formation of protein or RNA product the process is termed what?
Translation
How oncogenes are produced form proto-oncogenes?
Proto-oncogenes are genes whose products promote cell growth and division. They do this by encoding transcription factors that stimulate the expression of other genes, signal transduction molecules that stimulate cell division, or cell cycle regulators that move the ell through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogene products may be located in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, or nucleus, and their activities are controlled in various ways, including regulation at the transcpritional, translational, and protein-modification levels. When cells become quiescent and cease division, they repress the expression of most proto-oncogene products. In cancer cells, one or more proto-oncogenes are altered in such a way that tier activities cannot be controlled in a normal fashion. This is sometimes due to a mutation in the proto-oncogene resulting in a protein product that acts abnormally. In other cases, proto-oncogenes may encode normal protein products, but the genes are overexpressed or cannot be transcriptionally repressed at the correct time. In these cases, the proto-oncogene product is continually in an "on" state, which may constantly stimulate the cell to divide. When a proto-oncogene is mutated or aberrantly expressed, and contributes to the development of cancer, it is known as an oncogene. Oncogenes are those that have experienced a gain-of-function alteration. As a result, only one allele of a proto-oncogene needs to be mutated or mis-expressed in order to trigger uncontrolled growth. Hence, oncogenes confer a dominant cancer phenotype.
What organelles are involved in the protein making process explain how they contribute?
In eukaryotic cells proteins are made by the ribosomes.
Adiponectin is involved in regulating what in the human body?
The Apidonectin is a protein in the human body that has two jobs. It is involved in the process of regulating glucose levels and the breakdown of fatty acids.
What does the attached ribosomes do for the cell?
Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis - the process of assembling proteins from molecules called amino acids
What is the gene expression?
Gene expression is the process by which inheritable information from a gene, such as the DNA sequence, is made into a functional gene product, such as protein or RNA.
What cycle is involved with protein production?
Protein..
