Use the following diagram to answer the following questions: Fill in the missing DNA strand. The top strand in the above sequence is the template strand. Transcribe the strand and translate it into an amino acid sequence using the codon table below. Suppose there was a mutation from G to C at the location indicated by the arrow. What affect would it have on the other DNA strand sequence? What type of mutation is it considered?

A DNA microarray is used to compare the effects of a new, anti-cancer therapy that reactivates p53. The therapy-treated cancer cells are labeled RED and the untreated, control cancer cells are labeled GREEN. If the therapy is effective, you would expect which of the following with regards to p53 expression:
