Answer:

Cyclins are the proteins that regulate the cell cycle through cyclin depedent kinases (Cdks).

Explanation:

Cyclins are the proteins that control the activity of cyclin dependent kinases. The levels of various cyclins fluctuates throughout the cell cycle. The active cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) regulate the cell cycle by phosphorylating the enzymes and other proteins that are needed during specific phase of the cell cycle.

Example: M-cdks are the Cdks of M phase and activated cyclin--M-Cdk complex phosphorylate the protein to make the cell proceed through mitosis.

Cyclins are the chemicals that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins work by regulating the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cell. Cyclins activates cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) (an enzyme that works by adding <span>negatively charged phosphate groups to other molecules in a process called phosphorylation) by binding to it to form a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then functions by acting as a signal to the cell to move to the next cell cycle phase. At the end of the event, the cyclin is degraded, Cdk is deactivated, therefore signaling exit from a specific phase.</span>

During an action potential, the rapid decrease in sodium ion permeability and the simultaneous and rapid increase in potassium i

I am Lyosha [343]

The answer is repolarization. In the first phases of an action potential,
Sodium ions flow into the cell, through the voltage-gated ion channels, causing depolarization from the resting potential of -70 mV. In the later stages of the action potential, the potassium ion selective filter channels open and potassium ions move from inside of the cell to the outside. This repolarizes the cell before sodium ions begin to be pumped out of the cell.

A client underwent a mastectomy 24 hours ago. which information will the nurse include in the plan of care?

Ainat [17]

I think the nurse should include, the hand and elbow of the affected arm will be elevated above the shoulder. Mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely, normally carried out to treat breast cancer. It is also usually used for women at high risk who have prophylactic mastectomy.

How did the stop codon mutation in Lucy's ADA gene stop her ADA protein from working?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

By stopping the translation process, leading to a non-functional protein.

Explanation:

The genes of organisms are the protein-coding regions of the genetic material (DNA). They are expressed in a two step process to produce functional products e.g proteins that bring about certain phenotypes in the organisms. The two stages involved in gene expression are viz: transcription and translation.

During transcription, the gene (DNA) is transcribed into RNA molecule which is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON during translation. Translation synthesizes an amino acid from each codon. A STOP CODON i.e. UUC, UUG and UUA signals the end of the translation process and brings it to an halt.

Hence, if a mutation i.e. a change in the nucleotide sequence, causes a stop codon to be produced during the expression of Lucy's ADA gene, the stop codon will signal the end of the translation process. Because the ADA protein was truncated, it will be non-functional i.e. not work in Lucy's body.
