What else can I help you with?
What do you call genes that encode proteins that are always needed?
Genes that encode proteins that are always needed are called housekeeping genes. These genes are essential for basic cellular functions and are expressed in all cells and tissues to maintain normal cellular activities.
Do tumor viruses contain genes found in normal cells?
Yes, tumor viruses can contain genes found in normal cells. Some tumor viruses are able to integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the germline cells (sperm and eggs) that give rise to the next generation. Only mutations in the germline cells can be inherited by offspring.
What involves replacing faulty genes with normal working genes in order to provide a cure for a genetic disorder?
Gene therapy involves replacing faulty genes with normal working genes to provide a cure for a genetic disorder. This can be done by inserting the normal gene into the patient's cells using a vector, such as a virus, to deliver the gene safely. Gene therapy holds promise for treating a wide range of genetic disorders.
What happens when cell do not respond to the signals that normally regulate their growth?
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. such cells called cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues
What do you call genes that encode proteins that are always needed?
Genes that encode proteins that are always needed are called housekeeping genes. These genes are essential for basic cellular functions and are expressed in all cells and tissues to maintain normal cellular activities.
A class of master genes necessary for normal development in eukaryotes is called?
homeotic genes
What does it tell us if two genes show the same levels of expression in cancer cells and normal cells?
nice
Is it normal to sweat a lot?
Yes, it is normal. It also depends on the genes that is passed to you from your parents or relatives. Genes are traits that are passed on from parents to offspring as units of information is called "genes"
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
Do tumor viruses contain genes that are found in normal cells?
not in all cases, however, but yes
Genes are arranged on twisted strands called what?
Genes are arranged on twisted strands called DNA. DNA is housed in the nucleus and controls the cells functions and systems.
Do eukaryotic cells have genes?
All cells have genes
What is the function of the Ti plasmid?
The Ti plasmid is a circular DNA molecule found in Agrobacterium species. It serves as a vector for transferring genes into plant cells, leading to the formation of crown gall tumors. The transferred genes help the bacterium infect and genetically modify the plant cells to its advantage.
Do tumor viruses contain genes found in normal cells?
Yes, tumor viruses can contain genes found in normal cells. Some tumor viruses are able to integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
How do genes affect cells?
Genes tell cells how to make proteins.
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the germline cells (sperm and eggs) that give rise to the next generation. Only mutations in the germline cells can be inherited by offspring.
