Question

The following statement true about tumorgene mutationso induce cell division of human cell:

a) proto-oncogene product must have decreased activity

b) tumor supressor gene product must lose activity

c) tumor supressor gene product must have an increased activity

d) proto-ocogene must lose ability to express mRNA

2)The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to implify DNA from which of the following:

a) fossils

b) fetal cells

c)viruses

d) bacteria

e) all of the above

3) How does a genomic library differ from a cDNA library:

a) a genomic library contains bothnoncoding sequenses and coding, where is cDNA library contains only coding sequence.

b) a genomic library can be made using a restriction enzymes and DNA ligase only, where a cDNA reqires both of these as well asreverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase.

c) a genomic library is identical regardless of the cell type used to make it, where the content of a cDNA depends on the cell type used in its construction

d) only b and c are correct

e) all of the above correct

Explanation / Answer

Q1).

a) proto-oncogene product must have decreased activity -----> Proto-oncogene is activated into oncogene

b) tumor suppressor gene product must lose activity ----> TRUE (loss of tumour suppressor gene activity causes cellular mutations that allows the uncontrolled cell growth)

c) tumor suppressor gene product must have an increased activity -----> Increased tumour suppressor gene suppress the occurrence of cancer.

d) proto-oncogene must lose ability to express mRNA ----> Inactivation of protooncogenes cannot result in tumerogenesis.
