0/5 pts ect Question 24 MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE MARVELVERSE DR. XAVIER, who has a PhD in molecular genetics, wants to bring you on board as a researcher to better understand the changes that lead mutants to their super abilities. In this SECOND part of the exam you demonstrate your expertise in the molecular biology of DNA repair to speculate about the capabilities of several well known mutants. Xmen heroine Rouge's ability manifests as a sucking away of life force when she touches another human. Since this produces a phenotype similar to the aging phenotype seen in some humans with mutations in DNA repair, you predict her mutation might exert its effects on one of these pathways. Which protein would you investigate first? p17 p21 p53 ReQ helicase

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer: as already marked, p53.

Explanation:

p53 is a Protein which acts as a transcription factor in initiation of DNA repair.

Since the mutation is affecting DNA repair, we should investigate p53.
