Textbook Question
Chapter 9.6, Problem 1TC
Yesterday, when Daniel was showering after a basketball game in the gym, one of his friends asked, “Have you always had that big brown thing on your back?” Looking in the mirror, Daniel saw a large, dark brown, irregularly shaped mole. He checked in with a physician at the health center. She told him, “it’s probably just a large mole, but we should do a biopsy to find out for sure.”What genetic differences would you expect the pathology lab to find between a malignant tumor and an ordinary mole?
