How are scientists able to tell the difference between two different SNPs using PCR and gel electrophoresis?
A primer that matches one of the SNPs perfectly will continue to extend the sequence which will be longer and appear as a larger fragment on a gel.

Both DNA samples with the different SNPs will be copied but one of the SNPs will be copied doubled the amount as the other SNP sample and appear darker on a gel.
A primer will cut and destroy one of DNA samples with a particular SNP and will not show up on a gel at all.

The following can be limitations to a healthy, natural immune system's ability to fight cancer on its own except:

Cancer cells can release substances that keep the immune system from fighting the cancer cells effectively.
The immune system is boosted by the proteins given off by cancer cells making it give a more robust response.
