Tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes are implicated in carcinogenesis. However, one can predict whether a gene potentially encod

es for a protein that influences carcinogenesis by examining their mutational profile. You sequence the genome of 4 cancers and identify 3 genes of interest. Which of the following genes has the best potential to an oncogene?
tumor 1 tumor 2 tumor 3 tumor 4
Gene A S24F, N465T R33T T345S, G366R P367E, P368Y
Gene B S34R, F360I S34R V254I S34E, T67Y
Gene C S24F, I322E C255I, E344D S34E, P367E

a..Gene A and C are potential oncogenes
b. Gene B and C are potential oncogenes
c. Gene B is a potential oncogene
d. None of the genes are potential oncogenes
e. All of the genes are potential oncogenes

Answer: Option A - Gene A and C are potential oncogenes

Explanation:

Oncogenes are genes that contribute to the conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell when mutated or expressed at high levels.

From the information provided:

Gene A S24F, N465T R33T T345S, G366R P367E, P368Y and

Gene C S24F, I322E C255I, E344D S34E, P367E

Both gene A and C have two similar sequences which represent potential sites of mutation

What is the trophic level of the moth larvae in the owl's ecosystem?
nadezda [96]

Moth larvae eats leaves of the plant. It is an herbivore, a primary consumer in food chain. The primary consumer occupies the second trophic level in owl's ecosystem. The moth larvae in turn is eaten by small bird, a secondary consumer. Thus small bird occupies the third trophic level. Small bird is eaten by an owl, a top consumer that occupies fourth trophic level.
