“Apoptosis, Crossover, and Tumor-suppressor genes”For your primary post, please respond tooneof the following three topics with a post of at least 125 words that addresses each point given in the instructions. Also, please reply to at least one fellow student on any topic.Topic 1 : Apoptosis. Watch the Khan Academy video about apoptosis (1)*, then address the following issues in your own words:(a) What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?(b) What is the role of apoptosis in the normal, healthy development of animals?Reminder: you don’t need to cite the Khan Academy video for this topic, but if you use any other sources, youmustcite them.Topic 2 [article]: Crossover. Read the article from the University of Rochester on a gene that influences crossover rates in fruit flies. Then address the following:(a)  Explain the relationship between crossover, genetic diversity, and natural selection.(b)  Summarize the findings regarding a gene that influences crossover.Reminder: you don’t need to cite the University of Rochester article for this topic, but if you use any other sources, youmustcite them.Topic 3 [research]: Tumor-suppressor genes versus Proto-oncogenes. This is a library-research topic in whichyou are required to provide your sources. Mutations in tumor suppressor genes can contribute to or cause cancer, just as mutations in proto-oncogenes can also contribute to or cause cancer. However, tumor suppressor genes are very different from proto-oncogenes.(a) Explain why a gain-of-function mutation to a proto-oncogene (or its promoter) may be associated with increased risk of cancer.(b) Explain why a loss-of-function mutation to a tumor suppressor gene may be associated with increased risk of cancer.References:Khan Academy, No date given.
