What information could cancer researchers gain from using DNA microarrays?

Biology

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

DNA microarrays allow scientists to determine the genotype of a chunk of our genome and also measure the how the genes in that chunk are expressed. Using this technique has been essential in isolating genes that predispose people to cancers, and therefore allowing physicians to preemptively identify and monitor at-risk individuals. For instance, the genes BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 have all been identified (using DNA microarrays) and linked to breast cancer. Knowing this allows individuals to seek out testing and take appropriate measures to prevent cancer/monitor the possible onset of cancer, which has proven to be life-saving.

Using the brake pedal analogy, explain the impact of ONE mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus TWO mutated tumor suppresso
GrogVix [38]

The tumor suppressors allele is analogous to the brake pedal in a vehicle while cyclins are like the gas pedal. The tumor supressors regulate, negatively, the replication of cells. If the tumor supressor is mutated, this is analogous to the brake pedals of the vehicle being broken,   This means that if two are broken, then the vehicle will be unable to stop and will continue moving. This same way, if tumor suppressors are mutated, the replication of cells will continue unregulated and casue a tumor.

Each is a mini-ecosystems and a representation of much larger ecosystems found on earth. Describe in detail including plant life
leva [86]

Answer:

Each is a mini-ecosystems and a representation of much larger ecosystems found on earth. The mini ecosystem is the terrarium

Explanation:

A terrarium is the accumulation of small plants that are being grown in the transparent, or sealed container. It is a closed environment type and are mostly used to know how the ecosystem works within itself. Inside that small container, we can observe various natural processes like photosynthesis, respiration, as well as water cycle. Some small plants cannot adapt well in the home environment, so they can be grown in the terrarium. If they are properly planted and taken care of they can grow with minimum care. By this we can grow indoor plants with less care.
