Which is NOT a typical mechanism by which a proto-oncogene is converted to an oncogene? a. A chromosomal translocation that brings together two different genes that make a fusion protein. b. A chromosomal translocation resulting in enhanced transcription of the proto-oncogene. c. Complete deletion of the proto-oncogene. d. A point mutation in the proto-oncogene. e. All of the above are mechanisms of converting proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.

Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, an important reagent in organic chemistry for converting alcohols to alkyl chlorides (ROH ---> RCl), is hydrolyzed in water to form phosphoric acid and hydrogen chloride. In the gaseous state, however, PCl5 can decompose at 250oC according to the following reaction PCl5(g) <---> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), for which K = 0.0240. 1. Are products or reactants favored in the decomposition of PCl5(g)? 2. If a 5.00-L flask containing 205.5 g PCl5(g) is heated to 250oC, what is...

LAB 7: ELIMINATION OF ALKYL HALIDES In Chem 223/237, you learned how to synthesize alkenes by eliminating alkyl halides. However, there is a great deal of complexity in the elimination reaction. Is the elimination E1, E2, or E1cB? Does the elimination compete with substitution? Does the elimination give a mixture of alkene isomers? This experiment will help to analyze how the choice of base can influence these answers. You will react 2-bromoheptane with either sodium methoxide or potassium tert-butoxide. Both...
