n cancer cells one allele of the tumor suppressor gene p53 is frequently mutated so that the protein is inactive, not produced,

or deleted. The other allele will usually have a normal sequence and the promoter remains intact but the gene is not expressed. Sequencing with sodium bisulfite modification of DNA can be used to detect which cytosines are methylated. If the cancer cell DNA is sequenced what would be the anticipated results?

Answer:

If the cancer cell's DNA is sequenced than the anticipated results will be that the cytosines in or close to the promoter region will get methylated. It has been stated that in the cancer cells one allele of p53 is mutated and the other allele, however, of exhibiting an intact promoter, does not express the protein.  

Thus, it shows that the expression in the other allele gets suppressed by methylation rather than by mutation. Methylation generally takes place in CpG islands in or close to the promoter region and therefore inhibits transcription.

What are hydrogen bonds and how do they affect the physical characteristics of water?
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a common type of chemical bond in organisms. As the name suggests, this type of bond involves a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen is attracted to a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen of a polar covalent bond in the same or another molecule.

This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

What happens during interphase?<br> Apex
Ganezh [65]

Answer AND Explanation:

In spite being called the resting phase, many cellular processes take place during this phase. One of the most important of these is chromosomal replication in which each chromosome produces an exact copy of itself. The chromosomes are not visible as discrete structures but instead they appear as diffuse tangle of threads called chromatin.

Another important event is the formation of new organelles like mitochondria. There is also a build up of energy stores which is necessary to drive the mitotic process.
