LacIs, LacP+, LacOc, LacZ+, LacY- / LacI+, LacP+, LacO+, LacZ-, LacY+ Group of answer choices Both genes will make functional protein. Only Beta – galactosidase will be functional. Only permease will be functional. No functional proteins will be made.

Like Hurler syndrome, Fabry disease involves an abnormal accumulationof substances within lysosomes. However, the lysosomes of individuals with Fabry disease show an abnormal accumulation of lipids. The defective enzyme is α-galactosidase A, which is a lysosomal enzyme that functions in lipid metabolism. The defect causes cell damage, especially to the kidneys, heart, and eyes. The gene that encodes α-galactosidase A is found on the X chromosome. Let’s suppose a phenotypically unaffected couple producestwo sons with Fabry disease and one phenotypically unaffecteddaughter. What is the probability that the daughter will have anaffected son?

Given the following schematic for a gene and its associated regulatory regions, answer the following questions by placing the correct letter in the provided blanks please put in the correct letter for the questions What region would provide cell type-specific expression of genes? region What site would significantly increase gene expression rates? = region What region or regions of this gene’s coding sequence are expressed as amino acids = region
Assume that during the process of creating the SHH protein an error was made. Instead of producing a 462-amino-acid-long protein, you only make a 20-amino-acid-long protein. Assume the error is detected in the Golgi apparatus. Will this protein be exported into the extracellular space? If your answer is no, what will happen to this protein?
The following is a portion of a protein: met-trp-tyr-arg-gly-pro-thr-Various mutant forms of this protein have been recovered. Using the normal and mutant sequences, determine the DNA and mRNA sequences that code for this portion of the protein, and explain each of the mutations. a. met-trp- b. met-cys-ile-val-val-leu-gln- c. met-trp-tyr-arg-ser-pro-thr- d. met-trp-tyr-arg-gly-ala-val-ile-ser-pro-thr-
Based on the given scenario, tell whether structural genes are expressed (YES) or not expressed (NO) 1. LacY is deleted (YES/NO) 2. LacI is deleted (YES/NO) 3. TrpR is deleted (YES/NO) 4. Promoter sequence is deleted (YES/NO) 5. lactose is present in the environment; glucose is absent (YES/NO) 6. tryptophan is absent in the environment (YES/NO) 7. operator is deleted (YES/NO)
Hurler syndrome is due to a mutation in a gene that encodes aprotein called α-l-iduronidase. This protein functions withinlysosomes as an enzyme that breaks down mucopolysaccharides(a type of polysaccharide that has many acidic groups attached).When this enzyme is defective, excessive amounts of the mucopolysaccharides dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate accumulatewithin the lysosomes, especially in liver cells and connectivetissue cells. This accumulation leads to symptoms such as anenlarged liver and spleen, bone abnormalities, corneal clouding,heart problems, and severe neurological problems. The pedigreebelow contains three members affected with Hurler syndrome,indicated with black symbols. Based on this pedigree, does thissyndrome appear to follow autosomal recessive, autosomaldominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominant inheritance?Explain your reasoning.
A cell is homozygous for a LOF mutation in the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) gene. Which of the following is/are true? a. Chromatin in the cell will be more condensed than usual, decreasing expression of genes that should be expressed. b. This will lead to histones with more positive charges on their tails, increasing the interaction between histones and the DNA backbone. c. This will lead to a decrease in DNA methylation and therefore cause an increase in gene expression. d. Chromatin in the cell will be less condensed than usual, increasing expression of genes that should not be expressed.
The following is the only intron sequence of a gene that will be excised during the maturation of the mRNA. But it is not spliced in some tissues, where alternative splicing pattern is seen. Will the amino acid of its protein product following this sequence change? Explain with an example. ATGATAGCCAGACTCGCA
Protein levels and mRNA levels for a particualr gene don’t always match. For example, the GCN4 gene in yeast is always producing mRNA, but the Gcn4 protein is only made when the cells are starved. A. what is one mechanism by which changes in mRNA levels are not always matched by changes in the protein product of that mRNA?
Many neurodegenrative diseases are thought to be caused by increased levels of unfolded proteins. Which of the following conditions would you expect to increase unfolded protein levels (select all that apply)? A. Reduced expression of chaperone proteins B. A mutation that inactivates the proteasome C. Increased levels of ubiquitin D. Inactivating mutation in ubiquitin ligase, an enzyme necessary for attaching ubiquitin to proteins in cytosol E. Mutation of N-terminal amino acid from Methionine to Arginine
