4. Examine the figure below showing the location of a microsatellite (called 412A) and the beta casein
gene on chromosome 3, from cows. There are two alleles of the microsatellite that exist in the
population: 412A100 and 412A150, The 100 and 150 represent the number of repeat units in the
microsatellite. There are two alleles of the beta casein gene: BCA1 and BCA2. The two BCA alleles
differ by a single nucleotide in the coding region. The difference results in a change in the protein
such that the beta casein protein from BCA2 is more easily broken-down during digestion, making
the milk more digestible than milk containing BCA1 proteins, for some people.
In the figure below we see a predicted chromosomal map indicating the microsatellite and beta casein
genes. The arrows show the region of DNA that will be copied to assess the microsatellite genotypes.
The bolded "A" and "C" below the beta casein gene shows the nucleotide that differs between the two
alleles.
