As part of a purification technique, a mixture of small-protein hormones and peptides are placed in a gel and exposed to an elec

tric field. The gel was prepared using a buffer at pH 2. One peptide in the mixture is the tetrapeptide Ala-Val-Ile-Leu. This peptide will move through the gel toward the _____ terminal.
positive
negative

Answer:

The correct answer is "negative".

Explanation:

At pH 2 the net charge of the R groups of all the amino acids that comprise the peptide in question would be positive. This happens because of the high content of protons in a solution of pH 2, a value that is below the isoelectric point of all the amino acids. Since the peptide would have a positive net charge, it would migrate to the negative terminal of the gel because opposite charges attract each other.

Describe the genetic mutations that you think occurred in the cancer cells that were responsible for the phenotypic differences
ruslelena [56]

ANSWER:

Most types of cancer are believed to begin with a random genetic mutation. This is followed by mutations, which endow the cancer cells with properties allowing them to grow without normal controls to become a tumor.

Mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.

Genetic Mutations that lead to cancer cell formation can occur in two forms:

1. GROWTH-PROMOTING GENES are commonly mutated in cancer cells, becoming SUPER-ACTIVE and producing cells that are too strongly stimulated by growth receptors.

2. Mutations can INACTIVATE the genes that suppress cell proliferation or those that signal the need for apoptosis. These genes are known as TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES.
