This suggested that additional nitrogen was being sequestered from the atmosphere or sediments and that some phosphorus loss to the sediments was occurring. Concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and filterable reactive phosphorus (FRP), however, declined as lakes dried, suggesting a tighter coupling ...
What is a genetic mutation? What type of mutation causes cystic fibrosis? What are the two main causes of mutations? What genetic metabolic phase causes gene mutation? What is an autosomal mutation? What is genetic variability? What causes genetic variability?
1 Mutation In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA. Viral genomes contain either DNA or RNA. Mutations result from errors during DNA or viral replication, mitosis, or meiosis or other types of damage to ...
medical community: BRCA1 and BRCA2. The names stand for breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 and breast cancer susceptibility gene 2. BRCA1 is found on chromosome 17 and BRCA2 is found on chromosome 13. Mutations in either gene increase a person’s risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers...
That mutation was on the BRCA1 gene. Mutations on the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are the strongest indicators that a woman (or man) may get breast or ovarian cancer. Jolie’s actions are an example of one way to deal with knowing that you have one of these mutations, but it’s not the...
When someone with a cancer diagnosis and a family history of the disease is found to have an altered BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, the family is said to have a "known mutation." If there’s a link between the development of breast cancer and a breast cancer gene, then all family members willi...

If you do not have a gene mutation, testing can be a relief if breast or ovarian cancer runs in your family. You could still develop cancer, but your risk is the same as any woman's who does not have a BRCA mutation. You may also feel relief to know that you will not pass the ...
