Chapter 18, Problem 6TYU
FOCUS ON EVOLUTION
Genes important in the embryonic development of animals, such as homeobox-containing genes, have been relatively well conserved during evolution; that is, they are more similar among different species than are many other genes. Explain why.

- Variations in Phenotype Expression A genetic disorder characterized by falling asleep in genetics lectures is known to be 20% penetrant. All 90 students in a genetics class are homozygous for this gene. Theoretically, how many of the 90 students will fall asleep during the next lecture?arrow_forwardhello i need help with this DNA sometimes has chemicalgroups attached, called methyl groups, that affect geneexpression.

Find a recursion for the fraction f of theDNA molecule that is methylated.arrow_forwardGenetics The Basque people, who have a distinct language, live on the coastal border of France and Spain. The 700,000 modern Basques had long been thought to descend from hunter-gatherers who lived in the area about 7,500 years ago, before the first farmers arrived. DNA told a different story. Researchers compared the genome sequences of bones from eight Basque farmers who had lived in a cave in northern Spain from 5,500 to 3,500 years ago to genomes from other skeletons representing several European hunter-gatherers and early farming groups, as well as to modern Europeans. While the ancient farmers had genomes representing many groups, including those of hunter-gatherers, the Basques indeed have a unique genome — but one that descends from the earliest farmers, not from hunter-gatherers. Apparently, their uniqueness today is due to their self-imposed isolation as the rest of Europe interbred Question: Until recently, the Basque people of Europe were thought to have descended…arrow_forward

The SCN9A geneencodes a sodium channel protein required for transmission of electrical signals from particular nerves inthe body to the brain. The failure to feel pain is a dangerous condition as people cannot sense injuries.The SCN9A gene has 26 exons and encodes a1977-amino acid polypeptide. Consanguineous matings in three different families have resulted in individuals with CPA/anosmia. In Family 1, a G-to-Atransition in exon 15 results in a truncated protein that is898 amino acids long; in Family 2, deletion of a singlebase results in a 766-amino acid polypeptide; and inFamily 3, a C-to-G transversion in exon 10 yields a458-amino acid protein.a.

- Synpolydactyly is an abnormality characterized by webbing between partially or completely duplicated fingers or toes (Figure 18.15). The same mutations that cause the human phenotype give rise to a similar phenotype in mice. In what family of genes do you think these mutations occur?arrow_forwardGenetically Modified Foods The creation of transgenic crop plants using recombinant DNA methods involves the transfer of just one gene or a small number of genes to the plants, in contrast to classical breeding methods in which hundreds or even thousands of genes are transferred at once. Explain why this is true. If fewer genes are transferred during the creation of transgenic crops, why are some people afraid that they are dangerous?arrow_forwardTrue/False True or False? Transposon mutagenesis is useful for identifying essential genes in a cell. True or False? Transposons are found at various levels of complexity in bacteria. True or False? Transposons in eukaryotes are mechanistically different from bacterial transposons.arrow_forward
