Question
Chapter 8.6, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The relationship between genetic mutations and cancer.
Introduction:
Cancer refers to a family of diseases that are characterized by the presence of “malignant cells”. Mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of the cell. This change may occur in a gene or regulatory region of the gene.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice.
