Examining tumor tissue for driver mutations can help plan treatments that stop cancer cells from growing.

tumors was EGFR, followed by TP53 (18%), SETD2 (11%) and SMARCA4 (11%). More than 72% (81/112) of cases have mutations in at least one driver gene.

For example, the TP53 tumor suppressor gene is a driver gene, but it is only functional when both alleles of her TP53 gene are mutated. Furthermore, mutations can act as drivers only at certain stages of cancer.

Which option(s) correctly describes chromosomes?
laiz [17]

Answer:In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.

What function do receptor proteins and structural proteins have in nerve cells?
Dovator [93]

A receptor refers to a protein molecule, which attains chemical signals from external of a cell. The receptor proteins are categorized by their location. On the other hand, the structural proteins refer to the fibrous proteins. One of the essential activity of the structural protein is to maintain the configuration of the cell.  

In the nerve cells, the receptor proteins pick up signals of pain and structural proteins helps in maintaining the shape and configuration of the nerve cell.
