Frage 1

Frage
What is a primary event?
Antworten
  • The conversion of a normal cell to a transformed cell
  • The conversion of a normal cell to a tumgeric cell
  • The conversion of a proto-oncogene to an oncogene

Frage 2

Frage
What example of primary event is found in Burkitt's Lymphomoma?
Antworten
  • Gross DNA change- Chrimosomal translocation
  • Gross DNA change- Chromsomal deletion
  • Gross DNA change- Chromosomal insertion

Frage 3

Frage
What occurs to the DNA in Burkett's Lymphoma?
Antworten
  • The C-myc transcription factor is placed under the control of a very strong promoter
  • The C-jun transcription factor is placed under the control of a very strong promoter
  • The Erk transcription factor is placed under the control of a very strong promoter

Frage 4

Which chromosomes fuse to form the Philadelphia chromosome?
Antworten
  • 9 & 22
  • 7 & 13
  • 6 & 10
  • 12 & 21

Antworten
  • 13
  • 11
  • 19
  • 10

Frage 6

Frage
Name all of the gross DNA changes that can cause oncogenes to form?
Antworten
  • Chromosome insertion
  • Chromosome deletion
  • Chromosomal translocatiion
  • Chromosome fusion

Frage 7

Frage
In Small Lung Lymphatic Lymphoma, what chromosome gains an extra copy?
Antworten
  • 12
  • 1
  • 7
  • 16

Frage 8

Frage
Can deletions and additions occur in the same tumor?
Antworten
  • Yes
  • No

Frage 9

Frage
A cancer is called a sarcoma- from what type of cell did it arise?
Antworten
  • Muscle
  • Skin
  • Connective

Frage 10

Frage
Leukaemia's are unusual proliferations of what type of cell?
Antworten
  • Blood
  • Liver
  • Kidney

Frage 11

Frage
What differentiates a normal mole from a potential melanoma?
Antworten
  • Moles are contained by capsules
  • Moles are smaller than melanomas
  • Moles have a regular/symmetrical shape

Frage 12

Frage
When do normal cells cease to divide?
Antworten
  • When they have terminally differentiated
  • When subject to stress/DNA damage

Frage 13

Frage
Telomere's are shortened every time the cell replicates- what is this thought to contribute to?
Antworten
  • The Hayflick limit
  • Cancer cell formation
  • Cell immortality

Frage 14

Frage
How are cancer cells thought to evade the Hayflick limit?
Antworten
  • Use of telomerase to extend telomeres
  • Use of telomeric synthase to extend telomeres
  • Use of telomere synthase to extend telomeres

Frage 15

Frage
The condition or process of deterioration with age- what is this defining?
Antworten
  • Mortality
  • Tumergic emergence
  • Senescence

Frage 16

Frage
The occurence of cancer rises steeply as people..
Antworten
  • Age
  • Gain weight
  • Become less self sufficient

Frage 17

Frage
What is considered (usually) to be the first mutation in a tumor forming cell
Antworten
  • Increased cell proliferation
  • Survival in low O2 environments
  • Production of cytotoxic chemicals

Frage 18

Frage
What is an essential requirement for tumor cell formation
Antworten
  • Genetic instability
  • No seriously, otherwise they just stay normal cells
  • And don't mutate further
  • It's kinda obvious, if you think about it

Frage 19

Frage
Can a cell become too unstable genetically to survive?
Antworten
  • Yes
  • No

Frage 20

Frage
What is the difference between carcino and mutagenesis?
Antworten
  • Carcinogenesis- generation of cancer Mutatgenesis- Change in DNA sequence
  • Carcinogenesis- Generation of cancer Mutatgenesis- Change in DNA sequence caused by a carcinogen

Frage 21

Frage
Why is Nitroform a direct carcinogen?
Antworten
  • It can damage DNA in it's present form (needn't be altered by metabolism)
  • Can cause the immediate appearance of tumergic cells
  • Can cause the appearence of more than one mutation at once

Frage 22

Frage
Why is Aflatoxin not a direct carcinogen?
Antworten
  • It must be metabollically altered before binding to Guanine in DNA
  • It must bind to other chemicals before binding to Guanine in DNA
  • It must be imported directly into the nucleus before binding to Guanine in DNA

Frage 23

Frage
What is the AMES test used for?
Antworten
  • To detect mutagenic properties
  • To detect mutated cells

Frage 24

Frage
Name the three components of the AMES test
Antworten
  • Possible mutagen
  • Possible carcinogen
  • Histadine dependent salmonella
  • Lysine dependent salmonella
  • Homogenised liver extract
  • Homogenised stomach extract

Frage 25

Frage
The cells in an AMES test are placed on an Agar plate lacking what?
Antworten
  • Histadine
  • Lysine
  • Guanine

Frage 26

Frage
Tumor promoters act synergystically with what?
Antworten
  • Carcinogens
  • Cell proliferation
  • Mutagens

Frage 27

Frage
Do tumor promoters directly alter DNA?
Antworten
  • Yes
  • No

Frage 28

Frage
In tests, which had to be added first to promote tumor growth?
Antworten
  • The initiator- which causes DNA damage
  • The promoter- which causes cell proliferation
  • Either- it doesn't matter

Frage 29

Frage
What happens when, after the initiator is added, the promoter is added slowly?
Antworten
  • No tumor forms
  • A tumor forms

Frage 30

Frage
Why is rapid cell proliferation required after mutation?
Antworten
  • It reactivates genes potentially silenced by initiator damage
  • Forces the expression of damaged genes
  • Because it does

Frage 31

Frage
Name the factors that don't influence cancer cell formation
Antworten
  • Basic Bodily functions i.e the production of O2 radicals
  • Smoking
  • Environment
  • Diet
  • Reproductive life
  • Disease
