QUESTION NO. 1
Patients with the rare genetic disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are very sensitive to light and are highly susceptible to skin cancers.

In nucleotide excision repair

B. only thymine dimers generated by UV light can be removed .
C. the excision nuclease is an exonuclease.
D. a single multifunctional enzyme carries out the repair process.

These conversions are dependent on both permease and β-galactosidase as part of the lac operon. After selection for rapid fermentation for the production of yogurt, one Lactobacillus subspecies lost its ability to regulate lac operon expression. Would you consider it likely that in this subspecies the lac operon is “on” or “off”? What genetic events would likely contribute to the loss of regulation as described above?

Retroviruses are used in gene therapy. The goal of gene therapy is to insert in the patient genome a copy of a functional gene that is defective in the patient. Since Retroviruses integrates their genome into the host genome they are ideal gene therapy delivery systems. What would be a potential risk of this type of treatment? The individual treated could be more susceptible to infection by other retroviruses Insertion of the retroviral genome into the host genome can cause dangerous mutations. There are not recognized risks with this gene therapy approach. Genes from the host can be inserted into the retroviruses and laterally moved to other cells.arrow_forward
