Answer #1

Answers : The right answer is B ( Disruption of cell division) ( carcinogens = Cancer causing agents)

Examples : Natural carcinogens ( Aflatoxin B1 fromfungus Aspergillus flavus), Viruses such hepatitis B and human papilloma virus have been found to cause cancer in humans and chemical compounds such as asbestos, benzo[a]pyrene, tobacco-specific nitrosamines are known to cause to cancer in humans. All these agents are known to disrupt mitosis that leads to uncontrolled growth and division of cells.

    Consider a spontaneous mutation in the gene HER2, a tumor suppressor involved in cell cycle control Mutations happen at a rate of about 1 error per 109 bases per generation. A spontaneous deleterious mutation must occur in HER2 specifically, and not in another gene. The likelihood that a spontaneous mutation is deleterious and could lead to cancer depends on the number of mutable bases in HER2, the fraction of bases that will affect the function of HER2, and that both...

    Adaptive Immunity: Second Line of Defense—Cellular Defenses The T-cell receptors and CD4 and CD8 molecules interact with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. MHC proteins are found on most cells of the body. There are two variations, or classes, of MHC proteins. MHC class I is expressed on the surface of most cells of the body such as skin cells, liver cells, and others. Should a cell become infected with a virus, viral antigens are processed in the cells and expressed...

    can help me writing a summary please Chromosomal Aberrations and Human Disorders In addition to mutations that alter the information content of a single gene, chromosomes may be subjected to more extensive alterations that occur most commonly during cell division. Pieces of a chromosome may be lost or segments may be exchanged between different chromosomes. Because these chromosomal aberrations follow chromosomal breakage, their incidence is increased by exposure to agents that damage DNA, such as viral infection, X‐rays, or reactive...
