Oncogenes are mutated versions of normal genes (proto-oncogenes) that can promote uncontrolled cell growth and division. These mutations can cause the oncogene to be stuck in the "on" position, leading to continuous activation of cell proliferation pathways and contributing to the development of cancer.

Which organ acts a storage sac?
The urinary bladder acts as a storage sac for urine in the body.
What is important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber?
Cartilage is important in joint because it acts as a shock absorber.
Anchors and packages body organs?
The omentum is a double-layered fold of peritoneum that acts as an anchor for organs in the abdominal cavity. It helps to hold organs in place and prevent them from shifting or moving excessively. Additionally, the ligaments in the body provide further support and help to maintain the position of organs within the body.
What keeps the mandibular condyle from slipping out of its fossa in a posterior direction?
The articular disc of the temporomandibular joint acts as a cushion and helps maintain the mandibular condyle in position within the fossa. Ligaments, muscles, and the shape of the condyle and fossa also contribute to stabilizing the joint and preventing the condyle from slipping posteriorly.

Why do girls look at a guy then act stuck up?
Maybe a girl looks at a guy and then acts stuck up because she is stuck up. She may have been looking in a negative way and not in a way that was checking him out.
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 is the purpose of a diodes in a circuit?
a diode in a ckt basically acts like a switch!! it acts like a switch in on position i.e a short when forward biased and acts like a open ckt or a swich in off position when it is reversed biased!! its used inanalog circuits to generate different types of waves.........

What does a force always act on?
A force always acts on an object to cause a change in its motion or position.
The Intolerable Acts were passed to increase trade.?
The Intolerable Acts were not necessarily passed to increase trade, though that could have been a byproduct. The acts were passed to limit British authority on colonist trade.
