1. How do the JAK3 gene in Patty and the EP300 gene in Carl differ in terms of the function of the proteins they produce?

a. The JAK3 and EP300 genes normally code for proteins that stop the cell cycle, but the genes are mutated so those proteins aren't being produced; this was part of what allowed Patty and Carl's tumors to grow

b. The JAK3 gene usually produces a protein that stimulates the cell cycle whereas the EP300 gene normally produces a protein that stops the cell cycle

c. The EP300 gene increases the frequency of mitosis, but the JAK3gene decreases the frequency of mitosis

d. The EP300 gene usually produces a protein that stimulates the cell cycle and causes cells to divide whereas the JAK3 gene is involved in apoptosis

e. The mutations in the JAK3 gene result in slowed down mitosis but the mutation in the EP300 speeds up mitosis
