Textbook Question
Chapter 16.3, Problem 1ET
A team of phys clans treated four patients with breast cancer. Each patient received a course of chemotherapy (the same combination of drugs for each patient). In addition, researchers sequenced the genotype of cells in healthy skin tissue and in each patient's tumor at intervals during the treatment period. At the end of the course of treatment, all four patients were declared free of detectable cancer. But within 18 months, three of the patients had suffered a relapse. The researchers sequenced samples from the new tumors. If you compared the genetic information from the four patients, what kind of difference might you expect to find between the cured patient and the ones who suffered relapses? How might the theory of evolution by natural selection explain the difference?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
