Briefly describe the effects of colchicine treatment on cells. What are the genetic implications of such effects?
Topic:
Recombinant pharmaceuticals (for the production of insulin, human growth hormone or blood clotting factors)
Question
What are the drawbacks/disadvantages/unknowns associated with this genetic process?
You are working in the lab with two known carcinogens found in cigarette smoke: Benzo(a)pyren (BaP) and nitrosamine ketone (NNK). BaP is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the mechanism of carcinogenesis is through oxidation reactions with DNA. NNK is a nitrosoamine. Describe how these two kinds of carcinogens lead to mutations. (Be detailed. Remember you are graded on effort/completeness.)
