Question
Chapter 14.4, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the drug used in the inhibition of protein kinase can be used to combat cancer.
Introduction: The malfunctioning in the signaling pathway of cell division causes irregularities in the growth of the cell. The uncontrolled growth of the cell leads to cancer.. The agents that cause cancer are categorized under “carcinogens.”

Explain each answer in your own words.arrow_forwardHelpppparrow_forwardProject: You want to make a cat that glows in the dark (its nose, ears, and tail should glow). Choose the best answer. 9) To get started on this project, you isolate and cut out the gene in a jellyfish that codes for the green fluorescent protein (GFP). The next thing you need to do is attach this gene to the correct promoter so that you can be sure it is expressed appropriately in the cat. Which of the following promoters should you use? a) any promoter is fine b) the original promoter found in the jellyfish c) a promoter from a gene that is expressed in cells of the cat's nose, ears, and tail 10) You are now ready to transfer the piece of recombinant DNA you have prepared to the cat. You want to be sure that the transgenic cat you create will be able to pass the fluorescence on to its offspring. What is the best type of cell to transfer the recombinant DNA to? a) an unfertilized egg b) a fertilized egg c) somatic cells of an adult catarrow_forward
