Answer: Colon cancer

Explanation:

All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.

Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.

Suppose humans accidentally introduced a non-native species to a can of warriors bird to the region if these birds feeder school
jekas [21]
This would negatively impact the native bird species and the fish population as well as any other underwater species such as smaller fish and algae as they may have overgrowth and could even become an invasive native species over time because the food chain would be disrupted. The native bird species wouldn’t have much food supply and would either die off or migrate to another place, and the feeder schools of fish (large fish) would probably also eventually die off because they would be over dominated with multiple species feeding off of them. The natural food chain already established would be disrupted.

How does gene expression lead to differentiation
ExtremeBDS [4]
Every cell of the organism has the same DNA sequence and same genes. However, not all genes are expressed in every single cell at the same time. Only those genes necessary for a specialised function of a specialised cell are expressed in the specialised cell. For example, skin cells have some different proteins than nerve cells. Genes responsible for those "skin proteins" are activated in skin cells and are turned off in nerve cells.
