Cancer Practice Problems

8 problems

1PRACTICE PROBLEM

Proto-oncogenes code for proteins that regulate programmed cell death. If these genes mutate and turn into cancer-causing oncogenes, what will be the consequence to the cells when the apoptotic function is compromised?

2PRACTICE PROBLEM

Identify which of the following cancer treatments uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells.

3PRACTICE PROBLEM

Rb proteins can restrict cell proliferation by inhibiting the E2F family of transcription factors. Which of the following is most likely to occur if the Rb proteins become non - functional?

4PRACTICE PROBLEM

Hematopoietic growth factors are essential in stimulating bone marrow to produce blood cells. What can happen if such growth factors are removed from the human system?

5PRACTICE PROBLEM

Cancerous cells differ from normal cells by

6PRACTICE PROBLEM

All of the following statements are true regarding proto-oncogenes except

7PRACTICE PROBLEM

A cell is tightly packed but still, it is dividing in an uncontrolled fashion. The cell under question is an example of

8PRACTICE PROBLEM

Vinblastine is a drug that interferes with the assembly of microtubules. It also disrupts mitotic spindle formation. This drug is best in the treatment of:
