Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Fill up the blank __________s are blood diseases caused by mutationsthat eliminate or reduce the production of globinpolypeptides from one of the clusters but not the other.These mutations can include deletions of specific genesor the LCR in either cluster.A reciprocal translocation between chromosomes9 and __ contributes to chronic myelogenous leukemia.Nullisomy is a genome mutation where a pair of homologous chromosomes that would normally be present is ______.
- Histone modifications are inherited across ________ but not ________. Question 6 options: Mitosis; Meiosis Meiosis; MitosisThe M97 allele of the BRCA1 gene is a rare autosomal dominant allele that is only 20% penetrant in females. Rebecca's mom has breast cancer caused by this allele. Her father’s family has no history of cancer. What is the probability that Rebecca will get this cancer? Please show work.Relatively few inherited forms of cancer involve the inheritance of mutant oncogenes. Instead, most inherited forms of cancer are defects in tumor-suppressor genes. Give two or more reasons why inherited forms of cancer seldom involve activated oncogenes.
- Epigenetic changes in gene regulation are caused by ________. missing nucleotides or chromosomes missing nucleotides or chromosomes mutations of the nucleotide sequence mutations of the nucleotide sequence modifications to histones and the DNA, but not the nucleotide sequence itselfCdLS is usually caused by new mutation in oneparent’s gamete. Why?Insulin produced by molecular cloning is ________. of pig origin of pig origin made by the human pancreas made by the human pancreas a recombinant protein
- Explain why mutations in tumor suppressor genes are recessive (both copies of the gene must be defective for the regulation of cell division to be defective), whereas mutations in oncogenes are dominant.Mutations in proto-oncogenes that turn them into oncogenes tend to be dominant, while cancer-causing mutations in tumor suppressor genes tend to be recessive. Please explain why.In Metastatic Breast Cancer [such as in Breast Invasive Ductal Carcinoma; Breast Invasive Carcinoma, NOS; Breast Invasive Cancer, NOS; Invasive Breast Carcinoma; Breast Invasive Lobular Carcinoma; Breast Mixed Ductal and Lobular Carcinoma] what role does the genes Tp53 and Tp63 have? Would one of them affect the other (i.e. mutation, etc) or there is not relationship among the two genes at all.
