Genetic Recombination

Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.

Microbial Genetics

Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.

10. A. In each human female cell, either the maternal or paternal X chromosomes is turned off by the activation of the XIST gene and by adding methyl groups to the chromosome. What do we call the inactivated X chromosome? B. How many Barr bodies does a normal male have? C. If a phenotypic male has a Barr body, then what does this tell you about his chromosomes? D. If a phenotypic female does not have a Barr body, then what does this tell you about her chromosomes? E. Barr bodies are formed during embryonic development when the human embryo is a small ball of cells. Once an X chromosome is turned off in a cell, every descendent of that cell will have the same X chromosome turned off. This results in human females being a mosaic of two kinds of cells. What does the word mosaic mean in this case?

A person with cancer walks into the classroom. As a biology class, we ask if we can examine some of the cancerous cells and find that many of these cancerous cells have an extra chromosome 10 (trisomy) leading to more cyclin for forming the MPF being made, leading to uncontrollable cell division (i.e. tumor and progression to cancer). What would cause extra chromosomes in cells (be it somatic or gametic cells)? Select one: a. None of these choices are linked to how sister chromatids separate and would lead to extra chromosomes in daughter cells of cell division. b. APC not functioning correctly to add ubiquitin to the cohesins, thus sister chromatids do not split correctly during cell division c. MPF itself would cause more chromosome replication d. APC is overly functioning adding cohesins to the sister chromatids

. Neurofibromas are tumors of the skin that can arisewhen a skin cell that is originally NF1+/ NF1− losesthe NF1+ allele. This wild-type allele encodes a functional protein (called a tumor suppressor), while theNF1− allele encodes a nonfunctional protein.A patient of genotype NF1+ / NF1− has 20 independent tumors in different areas of the skin. Samplesare taken of normal, noncancerous cells from thispatient, as well as of cells from each of the 20 tumors.Extracts of these samples are analyzed by a techniquecalled gel electrophoresis that can detect variantforms of four different proteins (A, B, C, and D) allencoded by genes that lie on the same autosome asNF1. Each protein has a slow (S) and a fast (F) formthat are encoded by different alleles (for example, ASand AF). In the extract of normal tissue, slow and fastvariants of all four proteins are found. In the extractsof the tumors, 12 had only the fast variants of proteinsA and D but both the fast and slow variants of proteins B and…
