Cancer often involves excessive and uncontrolled mitosis, resulting in a tumour: Some of the chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer therapy inhibit DNA replication: a) Propose and explain two possible ways that chemotherapy drugs can inhibit replication: b) While this is sometimes successful in stopping tumour growth; there are side effects. What do you think these side effects might be? The two possible ways that chemotherapy drugs can inhibit replication is by upregulation the tumor suppressor genes that are involved in the replication for example P53 or p21 and also by down regulation proto-oncogenes b.The sides effects of

Cancer often involves excessive and uncontrolled mitosis, resulting in a tumour. Some of the chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer therapy inhibit DNA replication. a) Propose and explain two specific steps in DNA replication that chemotherapy drugs can impact negatively. b) Side effects can occur when using chemotherapy drugs such as hair loss. If these drugs are used to attack cancer cells, what other effects can they have on the body at a cellular level. Note: Be sure to relate it to the content covered in this course directly

Which of the following events will NOT trigger the formation of a cancer cell? a. A reciprocal translocation, where one part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches to a different chromosome. b. A dominant mutation in the paternal copy of a proto-oncogene. c. Recessive mutations in the paternal and maternal copies of a tumor-suppressor gene. d. A recessive mutation in the paternal copy of a tumor-suppressor gene. e. All of the above can cause uncontrolled cell growth.
