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

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Green algae is divided into chlorophyte and chlorophyte. It possess chlorophyll a and b.

Bryophytes includes the liverworts, mosses and hornworts. It is know tracheaophytes I.e. is not vascular without extensive transport system, it needs water to reproduce sexually. It's Gametophyte is dominant and stomata are absent. (Hornworts possess stomata; it's related to tracheaophytes.

Ferns have vascular tissue, xylem and pholem, stem, root, leaves, dominant sporophyte. It's sporophyte possess rhizomes and fronds plus sporingia aldo called sori. Ferns are seedless vascular plants.

Gymnosperms includes the conifers, cycad e.t.c. It has its ovules resting on a scale. The ovules later develop into the seed. These seeds are naked as there are not enclosed in the chambers.

Angiosperms have flowers and fruits and show diuble fertilization. This is a  huge clade that consists of all flowering plants. Unlike Gymnosperms

They develop enclosed in chambers known as ovaries.

Compare and contrast the two new cells formed in mitosis and cell division
Makovka662 [10]
The parent cell is also making a copy of its DNA to share equally between the two daughter cells. The mitosis division process has several steps or phases of the cell cycle—interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis—to successfully make the new diploid cells
