Why do loss of function mutations in p53 often lead to mutations in other genes?

Biology
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
4 0
The answer to this question would be: p53 normally functions as a tumor suppressor to stop the cell cycle after DNA damage occurs<span>
The function of p53 gene is to stop the cell with damaged DNA to multiply. When the gene works, the cell with DNA damage(mutation) will not multiply, thus there are less damaged cells found. When the p53 gene is damaged, the mutated cell with damaged DNA can multiply so it can be found more.</span>

The phenomenon in which RNA molecules in a cell are destroyed if they have a sequence complementary to an introduced double-stra
forsale [732]

Answer:

RNA interference

Explanation:

Interference RNA is a mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes, so that small RNA molecules complementary to an mRNA lead to its degradation, thus preventing its translation into proteins.

Gene silencing by interfering RNA is induced by small double stranded RNA molecules of 21 to 27 nucleotides called siRNA. These siRNAs undergo a series of processes in the cell as a result of which their double stranded RNA unfolds in a sense strand and an antisense strand. The antisense strand binds to the mRNA chain specifically for base complementarity, causing the resulting complex to be recognized by cellular and degraded mechanisms. Each siRNA is highly specific for the target nucleotide sequence to which it degrades. This phenomenon of gene interference occurs naturally in the body, being involved in the development and defense against viruses.
