Question
examine the process of gene expression. Include the following: Explain the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Discuss mechanisms by which gene expression may be altered. How do these alterations induce cancer-causing mutations in cell DNA? Explain how cancer is formed. Describe genetic changes found in cancer cells and how these changes lead to alterations in cell behavior. Determine whether proteome data can be utilized in genetic disorder diagnosis. Relate the Human Genome Project data to the analysis of cancer genes. Relates the Human Genome Project's utility in pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine to diagnose and treat cancer

Search for the tissue type that shows high expression in both the protein and mRNA graphs. Kidney Placenta Adipose tissue Stomach Ovary *Can be more than one answer*arrow_forwardChoose the statement that correctly characterizes regulated and/or constitutive gene expression. Regulated expression refers to gene expression that is either on or off, depending on the physiological or metabolic status of the cell. Constitutive expression refers to gene expression that is either on or off, depending on the physiological or metabolic status of the cell. Constitutive expression refers to gene expression that is always repressed in response to the absence of required nutrients or other metabolic molecules. Regulated expression refers to gene expression that is always on, regardless of the metabolic or physiological conditions in the cell. Regulated and constitutive expression are terms used to describe gene expression in prokaryotes only.arrow_forward
- Please asaparrow_forwardDescribe missense and nonsense mutations and how they are different from frameshift mutations. Be comprehensive and tailor your answer to explain the impact of these mutations on the protein expressedarrow_forwardExplain Mutations in tumor-suppressor genes are recessive at the cellular level but dominant at the organismal level.arrow_forward
- Some cancers have been treated with drugs that demethylate DNA.Explain how these drugs might work. Do you think the cancer-causinggenes that responded to the demethylation are likely to have beenoncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardImagine you have used cBioportal and breast cancer patient datasets and identified a cancer-associated mutation in a particular protein. What would you do next to understand whether that mutation contributes to tumor progression (include experimental approach)?arrow_forwardResearch cancer mutation. Provide the link to the research article that gives you your information. One good resource to use is PubMed. Then answer the following questions, in 3 paragraphs, 3-5 sentences each. 1. What kind of disease/cancer does this mutation cause? 2.What happens during transcription to cause this mutation? 3. Is this trait passed on to progeny? Can the progeny be a carrier or simply affected?arrow_forward
