Scientists are learning more and more about the genetic factors that prompt the eventual development of serious diseases. If offered the opportunity, would you want to undergo a genetic screening that would predict the long-term future of your own health?
If you had the ability to do gene editing with ONE gene for the betterment of human kind, which one would you choose, and why? Assume you could either change an abnormal allele associated with a disease, such as the cystin gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis to its normal wild type, or add a pre-existing human allele to a genome.
You are studying a new gene “X” that you think controls skin color in Bearded Dragons. In order to determine what gene X does you need lots of gene X DNA to work with. So, you decide to amplify it through the process known as PCR. You have a forward and a reverse primer that have been designed to gene Xf – a gene in frogs that is similar to the one found in the Bearded Dragon. You are pretty sure that these two primers will work in Bearded Dragons, so you decide to go ahead with the PCR. In frogs, the Forward Xf primer binds gene Xf between nucleotides 32 and 47. The Reverse Xf primer binds between nucleotides 1110 and 1135. What size PCR product would these two primers create if they amplified the frog gene Xf?? bp

Imagine that you caught a female albino mouse inyour kitchen and decided to keep it for a pet. A fewmonths later, while vacationing in Guam, you caughta male albino mouse and decided to take it home forsome interesting genetic experiments. You wonderwhether the two mice are both albino due to mutations in the same gene. What could you do to find outthe answer to this question? Assume that both mutations are recessive.
