In an in situ hybridization experiment, a certain clonebound to only the X chromosome in a boy with no diseasesymptoms. However, in a boy with Duchenne musculardystrophy (X-linked recessive disease), it bound to theX chromosome and to an autosome. Explain. Could thisclone be useful in isolating the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
Determining Gene Order 1. We want to map the distance between genes E (tall height), B (blue flower color), and G (thick stalk). Each geen has a recessive allele (e= short, b= white and g= thin). (The actual configuration of the Trihybrid will be deduces as a part of the process) A. Your testcross genotypes will be (use slash notation). Female: ______ Male:______ Based on these results, are the genes linked or not? _______
In an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of thehaploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowlybut eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNAfractions that are of different sizes and hence havemoved at different speeds. These bands are presumed tobe the seven chromosomes. How would you show whichband corresponds to which chromosome?
In a sequence encompassing 99.4 percent of theeuchromatic regions of human chromosome 1, Gregoryet al. [(2006) Nature 441:315–321] identified 3141 genes. Q: What features of a genome are used to verify likelygene assignments?
The human genome consists of 23 pairs of chro-mosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chro-mosomes). During meiosis, the maternal and paternal setsof homologs pair, and then are separated into gametes, sothat each contains 23 chromosomes. If you assume thatthe chromosomes in the paired homologs are randomlyassorted to daughter cells, how many potential combina-tions of paternal and maternal homologs can be gener-ated during meiosis? (For the purposes of this calculation,assume that no recombination occurs.)
Female fruit flies homozygous for the X-linked white-eye alleleare crossed to males with red eyes. On very rare occasions, an offspringof such a cross is a male with red eyes. Assuming these rareoffspring are not due to a new mutation in one of the mother’s Xchromosomes that converted the white-eye allele into a red-eyeallele, explain how a red-eyed male arises.
Mobile pieces of DNA—transposable elements—that insert themselves into chromosomes and accumulateduring evolution make up more than 40% of the humangenome. Transposable elements of four types—long inter-spersed nuclear elements (LINEs), short interspersednuclear elements (SINEs), long terminal repeat (LTR)retrotransposons, and DNA transposons—are insertedmore-or-less randomly throughout the human genome.These elements are conspicuously rare at the four homeo-box gene clusters, HoxA, HoxB, HoxC, and HoxD, as illus-trated for HoxD in Figure Q4–4, along with an equivalentregion of chromosome 22, which lacks a Hox cluster. EachHox cluster is about 100 kb in length and contains 9 to 11genes, whose differential expression along the anteropos-terior axis of the developing embryo establishes the basicbody plan for humans (and for other animals). Why do yousuppose that transposable elements are so rare in the Hoxclusters?
In addition to the predominant adult hemoglobin,HbA, which contains two α-globin chains and twoβ-globin chains (α2β2), there is a minor hemoglobin,HbA2, composed of two α and two δ chains (α2δ2).The β- and δ-globin genes are arranged in tandem andare highly homologous. Draw the chromosomes thatwould result from an event of unequal crossing-overbetween the β and δ genes
The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?
In the Human Genome Project, researchers have collectedlinkage data from many crosses in which the male washeterozygous for molecular markers and many crosses wherethe female was heterozygous for the markers. The distancebetween the same two markers, computed in map units, isdifferent between males and females. In other words, thelinkage maps for human males and females are not the same.Propose an explanation for this discrepancy. Do you think thesizes of chromosomes (excluding the Y chromosome) in humanmales and females are different? How could physical mappingresolve this discrepancy?
2. Null mutations are valuable genetic resources becausethey allow a researcher to determine what happens to anorganism in the complete absence of a particular protein. However, it is often not a trivial matter to determinewhether a mutation represents the null state of the gene.a. Geneticists sometimes use the following test forthe nullness of an allele in a diploid organism: If theabnormal phenotype seen in a homozygote for theallele is identical to that seen in a heterozygote(where one chromosome carries the allele in question and the homologous chromosome is known tobe completely deleted for the gene) then the alleleis null. What is the underlying rationale for thistest? What limitations might there be in interpreting such a result?
The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). Predict the outcome (normal vs. failed embryogenesis) inthe F1 and F2 generations of the cross described.
