equilibrium? (Basically‚ a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium s not evolving in any way.) Five specific factors are needed to create Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium within a population- a very large population‚ isolation from other populations‚ no net mutations‚ random mating‚ and no natural selection. <br> <br>The first element needed to create Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a very large population size. The larger the population‚ the less likely it is for genetic drift to occur. Genetic drift is a chance

oncogenes‚ tumour suppressor cells generally follow the two hit hypothesis (Knudson‚ 2001). The hypothesis indicates that two mutations must affect both of the normally dominant tumour suppressor cells before a mutant phenotype is seen. Proto-Oncogenes are usually recessive‚ hence it only takes a single mutation to one of the alleles (to become dominant as it is a gain of function mutation) before a mutant phenotype is seen. Although‚ this is not true for all cancers‚ and sometimes the tumour

skeletal muscles‚ which are used for movement‚ and heart (cardiac) muscle. These forms of muscular dystrophy occur almost exclusively in males. Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies have similar signs and symptoms and are caused by different mutations in the same gene. The two conditions differ in their severity‚ age of onset‚ and rate of progression. In boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy‚ muscle weakness tends to appear in early childhood and worsen rapidly. Affected children may have delayed

For the mice homozygous for null BRCA1 mutations‚ for example with exon-11 deletion (Δ11) isoform of BRCA1 (BRCA111/11)‚ the organisms develop embryonic lethality‚ which display severe apoptosis (Liu et al.‚ 1996; Ludwig et al.‚ 1997). As a result‚ cells must acquire secondary mutations to allow proliferation and tumorigenesis in order to survive with BRCA1 deficiency (Aly and Ganesan‚ 2011). Almost all BRCA1-deficient cancer cells have acquired p53 mutations‚ but p53 function is not enough to overcome

has lead to a large amount of information being learned about the cancer genome. A new strategy has recently surfaced and is gaining ground‚ DNA analysis of the cancer-ridden cells. In order for a cell to become cancerous it usually under goes a mutation to its genetic code. It then begins to grow and multiple without stopping. It than begins to invade or take over other cells those causing the cancer to spread. A cell can become cancerous through many different factors‚ a constant exposure to tobacco

The reason it is lower in females is that‚ while all males with an FMR1 full mutation will have Fragile X syndrome‚ some females with an FMR1 full mutation will not have behavioral‚ cognitive or physical features of FXS. Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is caused by the expansion or lengthening of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome‚ known as a gene mutation. The X chromosome is one of two sex determining chromosomes. When the gene lengthens it switches off production of
