- 8 points total. Within the general field of biotechnology, DNA technology uses modern laboratory techniques for the studying and manipulation of genetic material. Explain how DNA might be sequenced, analyzed, and "cut and pasted" as DNA technology is employed. In addition, outline one way in which DNA technology could be employed to improve human lives. I 3arrow_forwardDetermine which statements could be used as evidence to support the argument that "DNA influences the proteins that are made" and which statements are just facts. [Select all that apply.] The HBB gene that makes beta-globin has several abnormal alleles, including HbS, HbC, and HbE. Sickle cell disease has been successfully treated using bone marrow transplantation in children and adults. The symptoms of sickle cell anemia may not appear in individuals who only carry one HbS allele, but are always apparent when both alleles are HbS. If oxygen is removed from red blood cells made by two HbS alleles, the cell will form a sickle shape.arrow_forwardBased on standard MS- LS3-1: Fish in a cave system in Mexico is missing its eyes, has thin, translucent skin, and is relatively small (7-10 cm in length).

- Talk about the challenges involved in determining the genetic components of polygenic illnesses. Explain complementation groups and how the biochemical underpinnings of disease are determined using them.

Which kind of genetic instability is connected to which disorder?.arrow_forwardConsider the expression “central dogma,” which refers to the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. is the word “dogma” appropriate in this context?arrow_forwardTHE MOLECULAR GENETICS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS and of The following is the base sequence of DNA that codes for amino acids 506-510 of the protein that regulates the chlorine channels in the cell membrane. This protein contains a total of 1476 amino acids so this is a small part of the entire gene. DNA Template Strand: 3'TAGTAGAAACCACAA5' 1. What is the minimum number of DNA nucleotides in this whole gene? 2. What is the sequence of bases on the strand of DNA that is complementary to the template strand? 3. What mRNA will be formed from the template strand of DNA? 4. What amino acids will this mRNA code for? 5. If the 6th, 7th and 8th bases in the template strand of the DNA are removed, rewrite the new template strand below. 6. When the template strand of the DNA is changed, this is referred to as a mutation. What kind of mutation is this? 65arrow_forward
- Gene Interaction and Epistasis Hair color is due to the presence of melanin. There are two types of melanin produced by melanocytes. One is eumelanin, which is responsible for black (homozygous), brown (heterozygous), and blond (recessive) hair colors. The other is pheomelanin, which is responsible for red hair color. During melanin synthesis, MCR1gene converts pheomelanin to eumelanin. However, a variant of the MCR1 gene (MCR1variant), prevents this conversion. A cross between a blond-haired mother and a red-haired father produced 100% brown-haired children. When they came of age, one child married a double heterozygote, and both were blessed with 7 children; 2 with black hair, 2 with brown hair, 1 with blond hair, and 2 with red hair.

BRCA1 protein serves as a key enzyme in repairing DNA double-strand breaks. More than 800 mutations in the BRCA1 are clinically significant. This collection of mutations include missense mutations, small deletions, and large rearrangements that result in a protein with reduced function or no protein product. BRCA1 functions by interacting with a variety of proteins, such as Rb, Myc, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), and Rad50/51. Rb is important for cell cycle arrest; Myc is a transcription factor that activates genes required for cell proliferation; activated CDK promotes cell cycle progression; and Rad50/51 proteins facilitate repair of DNA double-strand breaks. How many of the mutations listed below would lead to excessive cell growth when the cell was either homozygous or heterozygous for the mutation? Increased expression of Myc Constitutively active Rad50/51 A null mutation in Rb Continuous production…arrow_forward
