- The Dscam locus in Drosophila melanogaster has 24 exons. Four of these exons are able to undergo alternative splicing. Exon 4 has 12 possible splice variants, exon 6 has 48 variants, exon 9 has 33 variants, and exon 17 has 2 variants. If all splicing combinations are possible, how many different Dscam protein sequences could be encoded by a single allele at this locus?Consider a single base insertion mutation between the 3rd and 4th codons in a natural gene that encodes a protein 100 amino acids long.

If the DNA duplex for the beta chain of hemoglobin above were transcribed from left to right, deduce the base sequence of the RNA in this coding region.As shown in Figure 13-14, what is the fundamental distinction between a pair-rule gene and a segment-polaritygene?You learned in Problem 21 in Chapter 7 that theneurodegenerative disease ALS can be caused by expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat region (5′-GGGGCC-3′)outside of the open reading frame (but within the firstintron) of the gene called C9ORF72. While a normalC9ORF72 allele has 2–23 copies of the hexanucleotiderepeat unit, dominant disease-causing alleles have hundreds or even thousands of copies. Researchers observed that the first intron of theC9ORF72 disease allele is transcribed not only fromthe normal template strand of DNA, but also from thenontemplate strand. Even more unusual, both types ofrepeat-region transcripts are translated in all six readingframes in an AUG-independent manner—a processcalled repeat-associated non-ATG translation, or RANtranslation. These discoveries led to the hypothesisthat the proteins made from the repeats mightcontribute to ALS.a. What polypeptides are made from the repeat-regiontranscripts?b. According to the RAN translation hypothesis, whyare…
