Chapter 26, Problem 26.4PS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The finding of the experiment in which AAF causes bladder cancer in rat but not in guinea pig but does not cause cancer when bladder cells of both are grown in culture.
Introduction: The study of cancer is known as oncology. The agents which upon exposure cause cancer are called as oncogenic substances or mutagens. Cancer-causing substances can be physical, chemical or biological. The substance called 2-acetylaminofluorene is a chemical carcinogen affecting the P450 cytochrome associated with the electron transport chain.
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether AAF is having a carcinogenic tendency for humans without the exposure of AAF to humans.

In the above figure, a wild-type plant and a plant with a atg5 knockout, which prevents autophagy within the cell, are examined for the number of peroxisomes per micrograph image taken of the plant's leaves. Which of the following are true. Options: The atg5 plants have elevated levels of malate The atg5 plants appear less able to destroy old organelles The atg5 plants may have a modified ability to deal with phosphoglycolate The atg5 plants may have a modified ability to deal with oxygen free radicals The atg5 plants appear more able to destroy old organellesarrow_forwardTrue or False? p21 inhibits the S-cyclin/S-Cdk complex.arrow_forwardBAX proteins stimulate apoptosis. Mutations in BAX genes can help developing cancers but not necessarily trigger a tumor. This is because mutations in BAX do not contribute to tumorigenesis, but BAX can prevent the formation of a tumor mutations in BAX may over-stimulate apoptosis mutations in BAX contribute to tumorigenesis only with other inhibitors of apoptosis mutations in BAX prevent the formation of tumorsarrow_forward

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. In the two figures, a wild-type plant and a plant with a atg5 knockout, which prevents autophagy within the cell, are compared. The first figure shows the number of peroxisomes per micrograph image taken of the plant's leaves. The bottom figure shows a comparison of 3-week seedlings of the wild-type plant and the atg5 plant at normal CO2 levels (360 ppm) and elevated CO2 (2000 ppm) Which of the following are true. Question 20 options: the atg5 knockout plants are more able to deal with photorespiration the atg5 knockout plants are less able to deal with photorespiration the inability to recycle peroxisomes through autophagy impairs a plants ability to deal with photorespiration Elevated CO2 overcomes the photorespiration impairment in atg5 plants Elevated CO2 overcomes the photorespiration impairment in wild-type plantsarrow_forward"Schematic outline of melanogenesis. UVR stimulates the expression of POMC by keratinocytes. The peptide produced is the precursor of the hormone a-MSH, that binds to MC1R in melanocytes. This union leads to an increase in cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) that in turn leads to increased levels of MITF expression, which upregulates the transcription of TYR, TYRP1 and TYRP2, producing brown-black eumelanin. In the absence of a-MSH, the antagonist ASIP binds to MC1R, and phaeomelanin is synthetized instead. Melanosomes are then transferred to keratinocytes through the dendrites via a shedding vesicle system." Briefly discuss how these several aspects of the molecular and cellular biology of melanin production and melanosome transfer contribute to determine skin color. How would different mutations in the hormonal response to ultraviolet light, the melanin production signal transduction pathways, and melanosome transfer influence skin color, hair color, and eye color?
