Prostate cells usually require testosterone and other androgens to survive. But some prostate cancer cells thrive despite treatments that eliminate androgens. One hypothesis is that estrogen, often considered a female hormone, may be activating genes normally controlled by an androgen in these cancer cells. Part A Choose the experiments to test this hypothesis. Select all that apply. O Look for evidence of transcription or translation of the genes of interest in the absence of androgens. O Look for the presence of an estrogen-receptor complex in the nuclei of prostate cancer cells. O Use a treatment to eliminate estrogen, and note the effect on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. O Look for evidence of transcription or translation of the genes of interest in the presence of androgens. O Look for the presence of an estrogen-receptor complex in the nuclei of normal prostate cells. O Look for the presence of G protein-coupled receptors in prostate cancer cells.

One major goal of modern cancer therapy is toidentify small molecules—anticancer drugs—that canbe used to inhibit the products of specific cancer-criticalgenes. If you were searching for such molecules, wouldyou design inhibitors for the products of oncogenes orthe products of tumor suppressor genes? Explain why youwould (or would not) select each type of gene.
A patient who has been diagnosed with cancer has been given a blood test in order for their doctors to investigate their genetic code. What information from the test would help confirm the patient's cancer diagnosis? O Data indicating somatic cell production is being inhibited by the patient's cancer cells Data indicating there is a genetic mutation in a protein controlling the patient's cell's cycle Data indicating gametes are becoming diploid cells due to the introduction of cancerous cells. O Data indicating that cells are increasing their chromosome number due to the occurrence of cancer cells.

Imagine you have used cBioportal and breast cancer patient datasets and identified a cancer-associated mutation in a particular protein. What would you do next to understand whether that mutation contributes to tumor progression (include experimental approach)?
Mutations in the BRCA genes have been shown to be related to a higher incidence of breast cancer in humans, and genetic tests are available that enable women to discover whether they carry versions of the gene associated with high risk. However, even early detection of breast cancer does not guarantee a cure. What considerations can you think of for and against advising women to take the tests? ·
Which of the following statements about cancer is false? (a) oncogenes arise from mutations in proto-oncogenes (b) tumor suppressor genes normally interact with growth-inhibiting factors to block cell division (c) more than 120 cancer-driving genes have been discovered (d) oncogenes were first discovered in mouse models for cancer (e) the development of cancer is usually a multistep process involving both oncogenes and mutated tumor suppressor genes
Control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells occurs at which level(s)? a. only the transcriptional level b. epigenetic and transcriptional levels c. epigenetic, transcriptional, and translational levels d. epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels
DNA molecule, which embodies genes, the hereditary units, is found in all living things. Science showed that genes could be expressed in any microorganism, meaning that DNA will direct the synthesis of proteins needed for various biological functions and structures.To reduce the costs of production, pharmaceutical companies use biotechnology to generate human insulin in bacteria.Can you describe the steps leading to the production of this hormone in industrial quantities?
Human cells are highly resistant to transformation. Experiments have shown that 5 regulatory circuits (pathways) have to be altered before human cells can grow as tumor cells in immunocompromised mice. State each of these circuits. Explain how the alteration of the protein of that particular circuit leads to uncontrolled growth. the mitogenic signaling pathway controlled by Ras. the cell cycle checkpoint controlled by pRb. the alarm pathway controlled by p53. the telomere maintenance pathway controlled by hTERT. the signaling pathways are controlled by protein phosphatase 2A, which modulates the activity of the mTOR, Myc, β-catenin, and PKB/ Akt signaling proteins.
Fruit flies with DNA transposons known as P elements are known to have 1.gene silencing factors in the cytoplasm 2.enhancers for specific genes 3.a certain chromatin conformation to enhance gene expression 4. more transcription factors to regulate gene expression
