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

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

When a DNA molecule is described as replicating bidirectionally, that means that it has A.) replication forks B.) chains C.) origins D.) termination points. The sigma factor of prokaryotic DNA polymerase A.) binds to the enhancer site B.) binds to the promoter site C.) can also synthesize DNA from RNA D.) binds in the operator site E.) is used to terminate RNA synthesis. A patient has a defect in a BRCA gene causing a deficiency in the enzyme needed for homologous recombination. This will primarily impact which of the following? A.) repair of DNA strand break B.) separation of thymidine dimers C.) the replacement of mismatches after DNA synthesis D.) the replacement of chemically mutated bases E.) repair of missing purines. The same gene codes for the two proteins ApoB-48 and ApoB-100. How do the intestinal cells make ApoB-48 rather than ApoB-100? A.) by skipping the stop codon and continue reading until the next stop codon B.) by including a frame shift when transcribing the mRNA thus creating an early start codon C.) by inducing a frame shift when translating the mRNA thus reading what has become an early start codon D.) by adding an early stop codon by changing a C to a U. A new class of drugs being developed is called DNA repair inhibitors. Using your understanding of biochemistry, which of the following situations would be the most useful setting for their use? A.) as a co-treatment for the radiation of a tumor B.) as a treatment for Angelman syndrome C.) as a treatment for AIDS D.) as a protective treatment for patients with a p53 mutation E.) as a treatment for sunburns.
