Chapter 13.4, Problem 2R

Summary Introduction

To review: The consequences of mismatch mutation in the formation of cancer.

Introduction:

There are many oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that are involved in the formation of a single tumor. Two vital oncogenes that were identified were Myc and Ras and their expression regulates the cell cycle and avoids apoptosis process. Experiments reveal that it takes the expression of both the oncogenes to set the motion of the cell cycle in the cells of the mouse and then converts them into the tumor cells. The experiment is explained below:
