The mono- clonal antibody that forms Herceptin was isolated by inoculating mice with cells expressing excess levels of human HER2 protein, followed by immunization of the murine antibody.

A DNA probe from the human HER2 gene was then used to discover HER2 gene amplification in human breast cancer. The process is known as recombinant DNA technique .

HER2 plays an important role in the signaling network that drives cell proliferation. Herceptin is believed to block intracellular signaling pathways. By attenuating the signal transduction downstream, Herceptin may promote apoptosis and arrest cell proliferation. Herceptin is the brand name of a medicine called trastuzumab. some common uses of Herceptin are they are used in treatment of breast cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer.

The genetic recombination is a biological process in which the recombination of homologous DNA strand occurs. There are three types of genetic recombination in human being that is :

Human Reproducation that is by introducing new gene combination to the population.

By cell Mutation is it  that is changes in the DNA.

Answer:

The only thing that can scratch Corundum is diamond.

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
