Biology 1002B Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Tumor Suppressor Gene, Synonymous Substitution, Clustal
Document Summary
The success of multi-cellular life depends on most individual cells agreeing to limit their reproductive capacity; however, sometimes some cells break this reproductively repressive agreement and go their own way. We don"t like it: four most common types of cancer in canada, breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer likely factors contributing to cancer incidence in canada. Note: men are at higher risk cancer than women (45% vs 40 %)! Rates among youth are rising: epigenetic high environmental component rapid cell division during embryo synthesis low heritability (0. 27-0. 42) Embryogenesis of volvox is simpler but giraffe is more complicated, however, their cells both divide rapidly. It will resume until everything is repaired. this check point is monitored by cdk (cyclin. Evidence that epigenetic regulation may be relevant in cancer. Some tumour cell nuclei can be re-programmed! these mice are heterozygous for a tumor suppressor gene.
