Imagine that you are a geneticist at a hospital and you are given a file for a patient whose family has a history of cancer. The patient, John Doe, is 18 years old and has had a biopsy done on a tumorous growth in his adrenal gland. He has a sister, Jane, and a brother, Bob, who are younger than he is and who are both healthy. His mother, Betty, has a diagnosis of breast cancer. John’s father, Joe, and John’s paternal grandparents have no history of cancer. Betty is one of four children. Her brother, Tom, and sister, Lucy, have never had cancer or signs of cancer. Both Tom and Lucy are older than Betty. Betty had another brother, Jake, who died very young of leukaemia. Tom has monozygotic twin daughters who are healthy. Betty’s father, Don, died of soft tissue sarcoma in his thirties. Betty’s mother is alive and healthy. Betty’s paternal grandmother, Don’s mother, died of a brain tumor in her thirties. Don had no siblings. As part of your research, you also consult…arrow_forward

You run an MTT assay on the results and notice that the sample from the control cells (not treated with drug) turns purple upon addition of the MTT and the sample from the cells treated your drug are clear after adding MTT. As you walk down the hall to run your sample on the spectrophotometer, how are you feeling? (a) frustrated, (b) unsure, (c) excited. I understand that if the cell are alive, they will have functioning mitochondria, the mitochondria will be producing NADH and NADPH which will allow some enzymes in the cell to convert empty T which is colorless, into a colored form as and die. The colorelss means less dye with present, which means the less empty T was converted, meaning that we had less mitochondrial activity, which means we had less live cells. I think that the answer should be (a) frustrated. I am not sure if I am right. Glad if the expert advise.arrow_forwardList all the materials needed to clone a mouse.
