Method DNAS sensitivity to DNase I was tested on different tissues and at different times in development. Key DNA highly sensitive to DNase I Embryonic globin gene globin genes Adult Chicken DNA U aD Results Erythroblasts first 24 hours Before hemoglobin synthesis, none of the globin genes are sensitive to DNase I digestion. a4 After globin synthesis has begun, all genes are sensitive to DNase I, but the embryonic globin gene Uis the most sensitive. Erythroblasts 5 days In the 14-day-old embryo, when only adult hemoglobin is expressed, adult genes are most sensitive and the embryonic gene is insensitive. Erythroblasts 14 days Globin genes in the brain- which does not produce globin-remain insensitive throughout development. Brain cells throughout development Conclusion: Sensitivity of DNA to digestion by DNase I is correlated with gene expression, suggesting that chromatin structure changes in the course of transcription. DNase I sensitivity is correlated with the transcription of globin genes in chick embryos.

In the experiment summarized below, scientists were examining the presence of specific sequences in individuals with age. In this experiment they extracted DNA from lymphocytes of various aged individuals and measured the length of a TTAGGG (in kb) repeat they found in their genomic DNA (Left Panel). In the right panel, the scientists measured the length of the same repeats in individuals with lymphocyte failure (red dots most severely effected) that have a mutation in a critical enzyme. Answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each. A. What is the name of the specific sequence the scientists are measuring in the experiment shown below. B. For the individuals with lymphocyte pathology in the right panel, which gene is likely defective that causes the data shown? C. Explain why the length of the repeat sequence decreases with age.

How can a single nucleotide insertion in the beta globin gene generate a phenotypic change in the ability of the red blood cell to transport oxygen?

Determine which statements could be used as evidence to support the argument that "DNA influences the proteins that are made" and which statements are just facts. [Select all that apply.] The HBB gene that makes beta-globin has several abnormal alleles, including HbS, HbC, and HbE. Sickle cell disease has been successfully treated using bone marrow transplantation in children and adults. The symptoms of sickle cell anemia may not appear in individuals who only carry one HbS allele, but are always apparent when both alleles are HbS. If oxygen is removed from red blood cells made by two HbS alleles, the cell will form a sickle shape.
