Question
Your friend sends you two cancerous cell lines to examine and determine possible mutations.
The results are shown below:
Cell Line
Mutation
WT
none (wild type DNA)
1
a deletion at the same region on both copies of chromosome 4
2
a point mutation in a gene on only one copy of chromosome 7
You learn that cell line 1 is a skin cancer cell line, and the deleted region normally contains an important cell cycle control gene.
You obtain another cell line (cell line 3) that has one wild-type copy, and one loss-of-function mutant copy of this gene
Based on this data, which of the following is true of the cell lines? Select all that apply
Cell line 3 will display a cancerous phenotype
The important cell cycle control gene could be p16, whose gene product prevents progression through the cell cycle unless all
checks out
Cell line 3 will display a normal phenotype
V The important cell cycle control gene could be cyclin d, whose gene product drives G1 to S phase transition
