Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the appearance of effects on the tissues derived fromrapidlydividing cells inDyskeratosiscongenita (DKC) disease.
Introduction:
Dyskeratosis congenital (DKC) is a rare genetic disease. Its symptoms appear between the ages of 5 to 15 years. Tissues with rapidly developing cells such as skin, bone marrow and nails initially get affected by this. People with DKC do not have functional telomerase enzyme.

1. For the genotypes and conditions (lactose present or absent) shown in the following table predict whether functional enzymes, nonfunctional enzymes, or no enzymes are made.
2. Even though the LacZ,Y and A structural genes are transcribed as a single polycistronic mRNA, each gene contains the initiation and termination signals essential for translation. Predict what will happen when a cell growing in the presence of lactose contains a deletion of one nucleotide early in the Z gene and early in the A gene.
1. UV light damages DNA by the formation of pyrimidine dimers. Draw the detailed chemical structure of a pyrimidine dimer and explain why the formation of such aberrant structures results in tumor-enabling genomic instability.
2. Use your own words to define ultraviolet light. Include a comparison of naturally-occurring vs artificial UV. What is UV-A? UV-B? UV-C? Which one(s) is (are) the most damaging to DNA? Why? Which one(s) are most likely to lead to a mutation in skin cells? Why? What type of UV light is used in tanning beds?
5) Both DNA polymerase (any DNA polymerase) and ligase catalyze the formation of a bond between nucleotides, but these two enzymes do NOT catalyze the same reaction. Briefly describe the differences between the reaction catalyzed by the polymerase activity of a DNA polymerase and the reaction catalyzed by ligase.

This DNA molecule is received by one of the two daughter cells produced by mitosis. In the next round of replication and division, the mutation appears in only one of the two daughter cells.
