3a. The deletion found in Bace2 is in Exon 1, and codes for a premature
stop codon.

3b.
If the deletion had been a 24 bp deletion, do you think that the
brown bear phenotype would exist? Why or why not (choose the
best answer)?
Yes this deletion is in an exon, it was always going to change
the phenotype
Yes this deletion is in the first exon, it was always going to
-
change the phenotype
No, 25 bp deletion led to a frameshift, 24 would not have
resulted in a frame shift
No, a 24 bp would have led to allelic haplosufficency
