Describe two potential observations or scientific strategies in which the role of a tumor suppressor could...
Please describe one well-studied example of a tumor suppressor gene, and highlight its normal function and how it might play a role in cancer.
Which of the following is a false statements about tumor suppressor genes? Gene amplification (duplication) of a tumor suppressor gene is less likely to result in cancer than gene amplification of a proto-onocogene. Individuals with a single normal copy of a tumor suppressor gene are more prone to cancer than those with two normal copies. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes can lead to enhanced cell survival and cell proliferation. Epigenetic changes that silence tumor suppressor genes would not lead to...
Differentiate between the normal cellular actions / functions of a tumor suppressor and a protooncogene. Using p53 and Ras as specific examples, describe one of the pathways each are involved in (can be a specific pathway or a more general type of pathway). Explain what type of mutation, for each protein, would lead to disruption of the pathway. Finally, explain how disruption of this pathway could lead to cancer. You can use the chart below to answer the question tumor...

Consider a spontaneous mutation in the gene HER2, a tumor suppressor involved in cell cycle control Mutations happen at a rate of about 1 error per 109 bases per generation. A spontaneous deleterious mutation must occur in HER2 specifically, and not in another gene. The likelihood that a spontaneous mutation is deleterious and could lead to cancer depends on the number of mutable bases in HER2, the fraction of bases that will affect the function of HER2, and that both...
Describe two potential barriers to consumer participation and how you could overcome these barriers?
Describe two strategies for developing clarity and conciseness in communication. Discuss some problems that could occur when the peer-review process "breaks down."
Describe two different communication strategies someone could use to communicate with the wider community telling them about a new service and what the benefits would be of using each one?
Mention at least two trade problems of the developing nations. What are some of the growth strategies that have been employed by the developing nations? How successful are these strategies? Which strategy do you think works the best? Please make sure to provide a real-world example and describe how a specific country adopted one of these strategies.
