Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Theeffect of alternative splicing on the structure and function of the cell.
Introduction:
The methods of controlling the part of DNA to be transcribed are referred to as gene expression. The gene expression is regulated by binding of the protein to specific sites on the DNA molecule and synthesizing regulator gene that encodes for the synthesis of the molecule known as the repressor molecule.

Explain How can you study the protein Z in the cancer cells?
1) Create a graph as a better way to display the data in the table
2) Determine which mutations (5q, 18q, 17p, Ras) caused the progression to each stage of tumorigenesis.
Examine Figure 17.12. What would be the effect of a mutation that eliminated the downstream 3′ splice site at the end of exon B in the tra pre-mRNA?
