Answer: BCR-ABL QUESTION Match the terms Answer: Driver: mutations that impart some sort of growth advantage Stem cell: Undifferentiated cells Passenger: mutations that do not contribute to the phenotype Metastatic: defects in the cells restraints that no longer keep them localized Tumor: solid mass growth QUESTION Using the development of colon cancer as an example, explain how the process of tumorigenesis can occur in distinct stages through the accumulation of mutations. Answer: in the first stage of colon cancer a polyp will grow and is considered benign due to a defect in the APC gene. In the second stage the kras gene causes issues in the adenoma . the kras gene becomes active and cell growth is uncontrolled and manifests a larger polyp. Then in the third stage the adenoma becomes a carcinoma which is malignant and the carcinoma is able to move and invade other tissues of different parts of the body.
