Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The result of given experiment, if it is performed with cancer cell with reference to Figure 9.17 “The effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PCGF) on cell division”, in the textbook.
Introduction:
Cancer is term that is characterized by mutations that disrupt the normal cell growth mechanism and produce potentially malignant cell. That can invades and spread in surrounding tissues throughout the body.
As normal cells have the property of contact inhibition, so they are different from cancerous cells. A normal cell in comparison to cancer cell shows density dependent cell proliferation.

VISUAL SKILLS Consider the microarray in Figure 20.12.If a sample from normal tissue is labeled with a green fluorescent dye and a sample from cancerous tissue is labeledred, what color spots would represent genes you would beinterested in if you were studying cancer? Explain.
genetics questions
1. What is the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast and ovarian cancer?
2. Describe why PARP inhibitors are considered targeted therapies (affecting only cancer cells and not healthy cells)? Describe their mechanism of action.
3. Explain how accurate direct-to-consumer test kits are for identifying BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations? If you had a positive result, how would you interpret this result and what steps might you take next?
WHAT IF? As a cell begins the process of dividing, itschromosomes become shorter, thicker, and individuallyvisible in an LM (light micrograph). Explain what is happening at the molecular level.
