Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1CBQ
Summary Introduction
To design:
The list of environmental agents that cause epigenetic changes that contribute to cancer.
Introduction:
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Many processes occur that lead the epigenetic such as methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation.

You decide to mutate proteins in the p53 pathway. Which three proteins would you mutate? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardAccording to the multi-hit model, more than one mutation must occur in a cell for cancer to develop. Once an oncogene has been formed by a mutation, what other type of gene must also mutate?arrow_forward

Would these epigenetic changes be passed tooffspring?arrow_forwardExplain how epigenetic changes can contribute to tumorigenesis.arrow_forwardA scientist does an experiment in which she removes the offspring of rats from their mother at birth and has her genetics students feed and rear the offspring. Assuming that the students do not lick and groom the baby rats as the mother rats normally do, what long-term behavioral and epigenetic effects would you expect to see in the rats when they grow up?arrow_forward
