1. A patient has an inborn mutation causing the inability to produce succinate dehydrogenase required for the oxidation of FADH2. Will this person still produce ATP? Explain your answer. 2 Mutations in the genes that encode certain mitochondrial proteins are associated with a high incidence of some type of cancer. How might defective mitochondria lead to cancer? 3. How is cytochrome c related to apoptosis? 4.
