GENETIC MAJORS ONLY PLEASE!!! EVEN IF YOU WRITE IN POINT FORM THAT IS FINE AS LONG AS I GET HELP WITH THE ARTICLE AND QUESTIONS!! THANK YOU
Choose a current newspaper article (no older than two years before the start of your course contract) that describes a genetic study. The article cannot be from a medical/health type of information source (such as Science Daily), or from a scientific publication. Summarize the information presented in the article in paragraph form by addressing the points below. (If you cannot address all or nearly all of these points, choose another article.) Include any other information relevant to your studies in this course, as provided in the article. (20 marks)
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING AFTER FINDING AN ARTICLE
-describe the phenotype of the trait.
-describe the genetic basis of the trait, identifying known genes, other genes involved, and any contributing environmental factors (or other information provided) that are relevant to expression of the trait.
-name the mode of inheritance if it is given or if you can deduce it.
-describe the particular type of mutation, as applicable.
-describe the related protein and its normal and mutant effects.
-identify any genetic technologies used in the study.
-does the author make any errors in use of terminology?
-Include a copy of the article (original, copy, or pdf attachment)
Explanation / Answer
Answer:
"What Makes Ashkenazi Jews More Susceptible to Breast Cancer? " is an article published in US news(April 25-2017).
Points:
1) Breast cancer is a heterozygous disease and has complex molecular alteration underlying genetic changes.
2) BRCA genes repairs breast damage and helps to keep the breast cells growing normally. BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 are responsible for breat cancer.
3) Breast cancer follows autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
4)Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer and have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene often have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other cancers.
5) Changes in some other genes could also be responsible for breat cancer- ATM gene,BRIP1,CDH1,CHEK2,PALB2,RAD50,STK11,TP53
6) Genetic testing and analyzing the DNA could be a test to check if a person has breat cancer or not.
