Which branch of biology is helpful in prevention of cancer by identification of certain genes

  1. Cryobiology

  2. Teratology

  3. Molecular biology

  4. Gerontology
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cryobiology is the branch of biology that deals with effects of low temperatures on living things. Teratology is the branch of science which deals with the study of congenital abnormalities and abnormal physiological development. Molecular biology is the branch of biology which deals with the the structure and function of the essential macromolecules. The major application of molecular biology to prevention and early detection of cancer and other diseases by identification of certain genes. Gerontology is the branch of science which deals with the study of old age, the process of ageing and the problems of aged people.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Molecular biology.'

Which is most common chromosomal aberration seen in cancer-

  1. Deletion

  2. Invention

  3. Duplication

  4. Translocation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A deletion mutation occurs when part of a DNA molecule is not copied during DNA replication. This uncopied part can be as small as single nucleotide or as much as an entire chromosome. The loss of this DNA during replication can lead to genetic disease.

So, the correct option is 'Deletion'.

Cancer cells differ from non-cancerous cells, because

  1. They have elevated levels of telomerase

  2. Theya are virtually immortal

  3. They have the ability to resist apoptosis

  4. They can maintain the telomere length as they divide
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

One of the hallmarks of human cancers is the intrinsic or acquired resistance to apoptosis. Evasion of apoptosis may contribute to carcinogenesis, tumor progression and also to treatment resistance, since most current anticancer therapies including chemotherapy, radio- and immunotherapy primarily act by activating cell death pathways including apoptosis in cancer cells.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
