How are the BRCA proteins and their genes implicated in breast cancer?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. The BRCA proteins damage DNA by generating double-stranded breaks which can lead to cancer.

  2. Cells become more susceptible to damage if the genes for these proteins are damaged.

  3. BRCA proteins inhibit excision repair mechanisms.

  4. BRCA proteins initiate recombination between non-homologous DNA sequences.

Claytonia virginica is a woodland spring herb with flowers that vary from white, to pale pink, to bright pink. Slugs prefer to eat pink-flowering over white-flowering plants (due to chemical differences between the two), and plants experiencing severe herbivory are more likely to die. The bees that pollinate this plant also prefer pink to white flowers, so that Claytonia with pink flowers have greater relative fruit set than Claytonia with white flowers. A researcher observes that the percentage of different flower colors remains stable in the study population from year to year. Given no other information, if the researcher removes all slugs from the study population, what do you expect to happen to the distribution of flower colors in the population over time?
