Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The relation between the expression of the bcr gene in white blood cells and the type of cancer caused by the translocation between chromosome number 9 and 22.
Introduction: The irregularities in the signaling pathway of cell division cause malfunctioning in the growth of the cell. The uncontrolled growth of the cell leads to cancer.. The agents that cause cancer are called “carcinogens.”

A biologist decides to design an experiment to determine if there was any cooperation between estrogen and Ets1in causing tumor growth. The biologist developed two types of breast cancer cells: one that expressed Ets1 at very high levels, designated as Ets+, and one that was unable to express Ets1, designated as Ets–. The biologist used four test groups in an experiment: 1. Ets1+ cells with added estrogen 2. Ets1- cells with added estrogen 3. Ets1+ cells without estrogen 4.
