Viruses and chemical exposure can cause mutations in proto-oncogenes which can lead to?

onocogenes.
Process:
-PO (proto-oncogenes) are moved (closer to promoter/enhancer)
-More PO is made
-Proteins are made in excess (in more excess if it's been in excess from
previous step)
-Mutations at pts
-At PO, causing increase expression
-At coding gene, causing gene protein to resist degeneration

Can mutations occur in jellyfish?
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
What effect can mutations have on viruses?
i think that most of the mutated genes have more then one thing wrong with them
Mutations in the DNA that led to uncontrolled cell growth or cancer?
What exactly is your question? If you want to know if A can be the cause of B and C than: Yes! These mutations can also be caused by diseases, especially viruses.
If you have just learned that a chemical you work with is a mutagenwhat effect does this chemical have?
Mutagens cause changes, or mutations, in genetic material like DNA. Some mutagens include:Chemical agents like benzene can metabolize with animal cells to create mutagens.X-rays can damage DNA.Some bacteria and viruses can inhibit DNA repair mechanisms.Carcinogens are mutagens that have the effect of causing cancer.
Why is it easy for a virus to mutate?
Mutations are very common in all organisms. There are various mechanisms of repair in most cellular organisms that detect and correct these mutations both as they occur and afterwards. Viruses are very simple organisms and contain very few proteins. Repair mechanisms are limited to the simplest mechanisms of the host cell. Since much fewer of the mutations are repaired, it is easy for a mutation to become permanently incorporated into a virus genome. Viruses also frequently use single stranded DNA or RNA, in which case mutations are much harder to detect, even for the simple repair mechanisms that may take place during the host cell's replication processes.
Can science mutate humans?
Mutations arise as a result of exposure to radiation, chemicals, and viruses. Many different things might act as a mutagen. Science itself probably does not cause mutations.

DNA insertion mutations may be caused by the invasion of?
Viruses
Because of their ability to undergo viruses can rapidly evolve?
frequent mutations
What effect can mutations have on viruses?

Can a person become immune to common cold viruses?
Repeated exposure to viruses causing colds creates partial immunity.
What does Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through?
Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through mutation. Mutations are heritable changes in DNA and RNA that changes the genes..
Mutations in the DNA that led to uncontrolled cell growth or cancer?
What exactly is your question? If you want to know if A can be the cause of B and C than: Yes! These mutations can also be caused by diseases, especially viruses.
What is the chemical that interferes with how viruses grow?
Interferon
What are oncolytic viruses?
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.
How do individuals acquire mutations?
Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses,transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.
A chemical substance that kills harmful bacteria or viruses?
Antibiotics
