Chapter 14.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The gene expression in the individuals heterozygous for the sickle cell allele shows effects of the allele under some circumstances.
Introduction:
The sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder. This occurs due to the mutation in the hemoglobin chain which results in the change of shape of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin gets sickle shape. Due to its sickle shape, the binding affinity of hemoglobin towards oxygen decreases.

. Mutations in an autosomal gene in humans cause aform of hemophilia called von Willebrand disease(vWD). This gene specifies a blood plasma proteincleverly called von Willebrand factor (vWF). vWFstabilizes factor VIII, a blood plasma protein specified by the wild-type hemophilia A gene. Factor VIIIis needed to form blood clots. Thus, factor VIII is rapidly destroyed in the absence of vWF.Which of the following might successfully be employed in the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophiliac patients? Would the treatments workimmediately or only after some delay needed forprotein synthesis? Would the treatments have only ashort-term or a prolonged effect? Assume that allmutations are null (that is, the mutations result in thecomplete absence of the protein encoded by the gene)and that the plasma is cell-free.a. transfusion of plasma from normal blood into avWD patientb. transfusion of plasma from a vWD patient into adifferent vWD patientc. transfusion of plasma from a hemophilia A…

- Discuss Concepts Many human diseases are caused by recessive alleles that are not expressed in heterozygotes. Some people think that eugenicsthe selective breeding of humans to eliminate undesirable genetic traitsprovides a way for us to rid our populations of such harmful alleles. Explain why eugenics cannot eliminate such genetic traits from human populations.arrow_forward10. Fur colour in mice is an example of the effects of interaction between different genes. Wild type mice have agouti fur where the individual hairs are black with a yellow band producing the typical grey-like colour of agouti fur. Two different independently segregating genes are involved in the expression of coat colour: • A single gene with two alleles, A and a, determines the colour of the coat; Agouti (AA or Aa) is dominant over black (aa). • A different gene is required for the hair pigment to be synthesised and therefore expressed. When the dominant allele of this gene is present (C), pigment is roduced and the agouti and black phenotypes can be expressed. A null allele (c, which produces an inactive form of the enzyme for pigment production) is recessive; when in the homozygous form (cc), no pigment is produced and the mice are albino. a) Write down the colour of the coat of mice with the following genotypes: Genotype Phenotype aaCc b)Consider the following cross: Parents…arrow_forward10.

- Suppose that you are studying the role of Protein B, which you believe plays a role in regulating PCD/Apoptosis in mice. You create two lines of mutant mice. One (bb) is homozygous for a loss-of-function allele of gene B. The other (Bb) is heterozygous, with one wild-type allele and one loss-of function allele. Initially you pay particular attention to two phenotypes of the resulting mice:(i) The morphology of their paws (see picture)(ii) The size of their brains & shape of their skulls. The bb mice have unusually large brains and unusual protrusions from their skulls. Suggest one other aspect of mouse morphology or physiology that you might expect to be altered in the absence of Protein B. Briefly explain your reasoning. Also, based on the apparent effect of Protein B on the likelihood of PCD/Apoptosis, would you classify Protein B as the product of a proto-oncogene or of a tumor suppressor gene?arrow_forwardDescribe the inheritance pattern of maternal effect genes.

Based on these data, does it appear that Protein B, when present and active, favors or inhibits PCD/Apoptosis?Briefly explain your reasoning. The answer should address both the paw and brain/skull data.arrow_forward
- Q11. One of the two genes known to be mutated in cases of Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern but known to affect males more often than females) is the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S (CACNA1S). What is known about the gene is recorded here: https://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000081248;r=1:201039512-201112451 Please navigate to the link above and ensure that you click to reveal the transcript table.

For instance, sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, which codes for the B- globin chain of hemoglobin. The beginning of HBB is shown here: 5'-ATGGTGCACCTGACTCCTGAGGAGAAGTCTGCCGTTACT...-3' A. Translate this HBB sequence into an amino acid sequence. B. In terms of amino acids, what is the result of the sickle cell mutation, wherein the bolded red A is changed to a T? This single mutation causes hemoglobin to aggregate, causing red blood cells to deform into a sickle-like shape rather than the normal “biconcave disk" shape. C. What would happen if the bolded blue A were mutated to at T? (This is hypothetical; it's not a mutation found in sickle-cell disease.)arrow_forward
- Link: Lack of RAC1 in macrophages protects against atherosclerosis - PMC (nih.gov) Could somone explain exactly what this means below? NOT HW just trying to get a better understanding on what this experiment is about. To produce mice that are deficient for RAC1 in macrophages, female C57BL/6 mice homozygously expressing the floxed Rac1 gene (Rac1fl/fl) [6] were crossbred with male mice homozygously expressing Cre under the monocyte-specific lysozyme M promoter (LC) [12]. Mice were genotyped for Rac1 deficiency as previously describedarrow_forwardQ. what would you predict to observe among the offspring of the following cross?
