For the development of cancer, which of the following is the most influential component of the genome? Correct Answer TP53

The TP53 gene encodes for the protein p53 – a polypeptide having a mass of 53,000 daltons. In 1970 it was regarded as a tumor-suppressor gene which when absent can lead to Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

Statements : In Japan, the incidence of stomach cancer is very high, while that of bowel cancer is very low. But Japanese immigrate to Hawaii, this is reversed - the rate of bowel cancer increases but the rate of stomach cancer is reduced in the next generation. All this is related to nutrition - the diets of Japanese in Hawaii are different than those in Japan.

Conclusions :
I. The same diet as in Hawaii should be propagated in Japan also.
II. Bowel cancer is less severe than stomach cancer.
Consider the following statements regarding Genome Sequencing: 1. Genome sequencing is figuring out the order of DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genome—the order of Adenine, Cytosine, Guanines, and Thymine that make up an organism's DNA. 2. Human genome is made up of 46 chromosome pairs with a total of about 3 billion DNA base pairs. 3. There are 24 distinct human chromosomes: 22 autosomal chromosomes, plus the sex-determining X and Y chromosomes. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A statement is given followed by two inferences I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement. Statement: Genome editing is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Inferences: Designer babies will be a reality with genome editing. Genetic diseases can be removed from a child before its birth.  
You have cut the genome of a double-stranded viral genome with a restriction endonuclease and electrophoresed the products on an agarose gel. You observe only one band on the gel, equivalent to the size of the genome. This is because
You develop an enterprise application, called XYZApplication that includes a Windows Form presentation layer, middle-tier components for business logic and data access, and a Microsoft SQL Server database.
You are in the process of creating a middle-tier component that will execute the data access routines in your application. When data is passed to this component, the component will call several SQL Server stored procedures to perform database updates. All of these procedure calls run under the control of a single transaction.
The code for the middle-tier component will implement the following objects:
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
SqlTransaction tr;
If two users try to update the same data concurrently, inconsistencies such as phantom reads will occur. You must now add code to your component to specify the highest possible level of protection against such inconsistencies.
Which code segment should you use?
