20. In class, we discussed different types of genetic change that can cause a normal gene (proto oncogene) to become a cancer-causing gene (oncogene). Which of the following would not be a cause? A) translocation or transposition (movement of DNA within the same genome) B) gene amplification (inereased number of copies of a given gene) C) epigenetic change D) point mutation that changes the gene's product E) loss of telomeres during DNA replication

How does DNA encode the instructions to make us? Select all the true statements. Group of answer choices ( select all the true answers) a) DNA encodes the heritable instructions to make proteins b) DNA is directly translated into proteins c) DNA is first transcribed into mRNA, then the mRNA is translated into protein d) RNA is first transcribed into DNA, which is then translated into protein e) Each of our cells contains the same DNA, but different genes are transcribed and translated in different cell types.

What is the length of the human neuroD *gene* sequence? a)357 nucleotides b)1071 nucleotides c)119 nucleotides d)You cannot determine the length of the gene from this information alone.
In the pathway below, normal signalling driving cell division requires a mitogen (ligand), an RTK, Ras and proteins X and Y. Which of the following statements is true about the genes that encode the mitogen and Ras in healthy cells? mitogen active Ras protein CYTOSOL GTP active signaling protein Y active receptor active signaling protein X tyrosine kinase CELL DIVISON
Another cancer cell line that you are working on came from a patient in your medical clinic. You recognize that this is a new type of breast cancer that has never been described before. a. How could you use sequence analysis to determine if this patient inherited the mutation from one of her parents or if it spontaneously occurred in her cells? (Unfortunately her parents have passed away.) b. How could you use sequence analysis to determine if this gene is a tumor suppressor or an oncogene? (For partial credit briefly define tumor suppressor and oncogene.)

Consider two different genes that are highly expressed in the tissue of your spleen (but not expressed in any other tissue in your body). Which of the following describes something that these two different genes have in common? A) Both of these genes must have the same set of control element sequences associated with them. B) Both of these genes must be present in spleen cells, but absent from the cells in the rest of your body. C) Both of these genes must be located on the same chromosome. D) Both of these genes must be the same length. .
A student has identified Gene X as mutated in many liver tumors. The student transfects primary hepatocytes extracted from a biopsy of a normal liver and finds no evidence of cell proliferation of the cells. In contrast, when they transfect the liver cell line (HEPG2) they see evidence of proliferation. Explain the different results (limit 4-5 sentences).
As the most junior member of a lab, you are tasked with generating cell lines that accumulate DNA damage to investigate how random mutations affect transformation of cells into cancer cells. You decide to mutate proteins in the p53 pathway. Which three proteins would you mutate? Explain your reasoning.
