a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The individuals that have same defect in protein – E production.

Introduction: Production of proteins is controlled by the genetic code for that particular protein, present in the genome of that organism. Different metabolic pathways are controlled by different proteins. Synthesis of these metabolic pathway controlling proteins can be interrupted by many different reasons that are present in the pathway. Combination of genes from two different organisms can alter the effect of the genetic code for that protein based on the presence of alleles in homozygosity or heterozygosity.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: whether children born from marriage of individual 2 and individual 3 will be able to make protein E or not.

Gene Expression and the Impact of a Mutation. Can someone help me to answer the question 8 and 9, please?    8. How has the mutation altered the polypeptide? Is the function of the hemoglobin molecule (which includes 2 ẞ-globin polypeptides and 2 a-globin polypeptides) impaired? (Read your book to learn more about sickle cell disease.) 9. What is the relationship between the genotype in this case and the individual's phenotype?    asap please
Question 1:  Explain the ethical considerations in germ line gene therapy. Question 2:  Give examples of successful and unsuccessful gene therapy.  Describe each. Question 3:  Describe the environmental changes brought about by increased global temperature. Question 4:  Describe the role of renewable energy in reducing the coal and fossil fuel dependence and impact of climate change.
Gene mutations can be classified in two major ways:(1) hereditary or germline mutations that are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body.(2) acquired or somatic mutations that occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body.If there is no family history of a particular disease but a child has the disease then it may have arisen due to a(n) ________ mutation early during development.   A) acquired     B) inherited     C) silent     D) transition
