Review this article and explain what this has to do with mitosis and the cell cycle, or determine the role of transcription in the expression of cancer.

  2. lets hope the BRCA1 is the cause of breast and ovrialum cancer because that can help us find a cure and if a cure is found for them then scientists will be able to find a cure for all the other types of cancer
