? ??? 2209 PID233. done by adding methyl groups to the genes, so that fene is inactive c. Why is "silencing" of a gene a significant event in terms of leading to disease such as cancer н adenine guanine tolecule continued)

Answer 1

ANSWER GENE Selencing is a technique that targets to reduce a protein from its corresponding gene. Each gene produces a protein in a two step process and this protein! performs an array of functions. The production of protein happens in two steps that us toonscription and toanslation. I key idea behind the process of gene silencing. I is to intervene in gene expression prior to translation, e Silencer In case of cancer some genes are si Mutation while other happens by DNA Methylation. DNA Methylation. typically occous at Multiple apa sites that are present in the promoters of protein coding genes. This Methylation is a significant step in progression. to Cancer. Thus for example is a gene necessary for DNA repair is Methylated Causing deficient DNA nepapr causing DNA damages to accumulate leading to errors during DNA Sunthesis, leading to Mutations that can cause. Cancer.
