1. How is proliferation controlled in normal cells
- Activate oncogenes transiently (i.e for a short by mitogens) and INactivate tumour suppressor genes transeintly
- Uncontroled activation of oncogenes and deactivation of tumour supressor genes

2. How can Mitotic crossover play a role in cancer?
- It is an event where a cancer causing dominant allele is sometimes expressed and thus predispose the cell causing development of cancer
- It is an event where a cancer causing reccesive allele may be expressed and thus predispose the cell causing development of cancer
- It does not play a role
3. What does the tumour supressor gene do?
- e.g.P35 gene encoded by the TP53 gene on the short arm of chromosome 17 and regulates cell cycle
- The proteins can't initiate apoptosis if DNA damage is irreparable
- They code for proteins that control cell cycle progression/proliferation (many of which are check point genes.
- Can't induce growth arrest at G1/S regulation point (restriction point)
- They code for signalling proteins that codes signalling molecules e.g growth factors, protein kinase and transcription factor
4. Which of these is correct for a normal cell?
- Loss of differentiation
- Apoptosis doesn't occur
- By reducing the immune barrier
- balance between the growth promoting and restriction factors
- Continue cell proliferation
- balance process disrupted
5. BCR ABL kinases don't
- transcriptional deregulation of cell
- initiate deregulation of signalling network
- Initiate denaturing of checkpoint proteins
- initiate abnormal signalling pathways
