In mice, the copy of the Igf2 gene that is inherited from the mother isnever expressed in her offspring. This happens because the Igf2 genefrom the mothera. always undergoes a mutation that inactivates its function.b. is deleted during oogenesis.c. is deleted during embryonic development.d. is not transcribed in the somatic cells of the offspring.

Inherited mutations in proto-oncogenes would decrease cell division rate and no viable embryo would form C. Inherited mutations in proto-oncogenes would increase cell division rate and no viable embryo would form D. Dominant mutations in proto-oncogenes are always inherited

Mutations in the BRCA genes have been shown to be related to a higher incidence of breast cancer in humans, and genetic tests are available that enable women to discover whether they carry versions of the gene associated with high risk. However, even early detection of breast cancer does not guarantee a cure. What considerations can you think of for and against advising women to take the tests? ·
With regard to cancer cells, which of the following statementsare true?A. Cancer cells are clonal, which means they are derived from asingle mutant cell.B. To become cancerous, cells usually accumulate multiplegenetic changes that eventually result in uncontrolledgrowth.C. Most cancers are caused by oncogenic viruses.D. Cancer cells have lost the ability to properly regulate celldivision.
In early mammalian development, compaction would likely be blocked by inhibiting expression of which of the following? a. Beta-catenin. b. E-cadherin. c. Bcl2. d. Cdx2.
A researcher performs a tissue transplant experiment with an early Drosophila embryo. The researcher observes that transplanting tissue from the area of the embryo that normally becomes the head of the fly to the bottom part of an embryo does not alter the embryological development of that organism. What to conclude from that observation? This observation remains to be explained. The embryo does not produce sufficient survival factors to maintain the transplanted cells. The cell fate of the transplanted cells had not yet been determined. O The transplanted cells all activate the apoptosis response, and thus do not affect the developmental program.
One example of an oncogene is ras. Ras is a G protein that is activated when growth factors bind to a G protein-coupled receptor. The mutated form of ras binds to GTP but does not allow the GTP to be broken down to GDP. Ras is involved in both the G1G1 and G2G2 checkpoints. What happens to cells that have this mutated form of ras? A. They divide when they should not. B. They don’t divide when they should. C. They enter mitosis without going through the S phase of the cell cycle. D. They enter cytokinesis without going through the M phase of the cell cycle.
Which of the following best describes the concept of cell differentiation during the development of a multicellular organism? A. During development, all of the genes in the embryo's cells are expressed at first, but fewer and fewer are expressed as time proceeds. B. During development, different sets of genes are deleted from different cell types so that at the end of development, each cell has only the genes it needs. C. During development, different cells become specialized to have different phenotypes even though they all originated from the same cell. ..
You examine a maternal effect protein that regulates cell division. Will a mutation in this gene display a defect in the mother with the mutation, or in her offspring who have not inherited the mutation?
