P53 is found often in familial melanoma cases. The gene, when it operates normally, helps the body repair mutated cells to prevent, amongst other things, cancer from developing. However when p53 is altered it can’t operate its job properly and allow cancers to grow. Heavy UV light that ...
What happens when a mutation results in an amino acid substitution? A mutation has occurred in the promoter sequence of a gene. Briefly explain what effect that mutation will likely have on the transcription of the gene. Fill in the blank with correct word/s. In a protein...
What happens when RNA polymerase malfunctions? How is DNA decoded? What can happen if something goes wrong? When errors occur in DNA, what activity do checkpoint controls inhibit? What would happen to the DNA replication process if DNA polymerase I was mutate...
In some cases, radiation therapy is used alone, especially when the tumor is very susceptible to radiation, or when surgery to the area is too risky. Radiation can be used to shrink a tumor to provide relief from symptoms associated with tumor growth, even when a cure is highly unlikely. ...
energy and multiply. For example, in some cancers, the ras gene (an oncogene) is mutated, and produces a protein that stimulates cells to divide prematurely. Other oncogenes, such as C-myc and C-erb B-2, when amplified, are implicated in small cell lung cancer and breast cancer, ...
