- A reciprocal translocation occurs in an individual between chromosomes 4 and 18, and this translocation causes a disease in the individual. What is the most likely reason chromosome mutation causes a disease? a) The translocation causes a break in the chromosome in a gene regulatory region. b) Chromosomes with a translocation cannot replicate. c) An individual with a translocation has some genes duplicated. d) An individual with a translocation has some genes missing.arrow_forwardDefine the following terms:a. nonreplicative transpositionb. replicative transpositionc. composite transposond. retrotransposone. insertional elementarrow_forwardDiscuss the following types of mutations, with reference to specific genetic disorders: i) Chromosomal deletion; ii) Reciprocal translocation; and iii) Haploinsufficiencyarrow_forward
- It has been shown that infectious agents such as viruses often exert a dramatic effect on their host cell’s genome architecture. In many cases, viruses induce methylation of host DNA sequences in order to enhance their infectivity. What specific host gene functions would you consider as strong candidates for such methylation by infecting viruses?arrow_forwarda) Restriction enzymes are essential tools in genetic engineering.

R. Riordan et al. 1989. Science 245:1066–1073). From the photo, determine the sequence of the normal copy of the gene and the sequence of the mutated copy of the gene. Identify the location of the mutation that causes cystic fibrosis. (Hint: The CF mutation is a 3-bp deletion.)arrow_forward
- Identical (monozygotic) twins have identical genomes. In one pair of identical twins, they inherit a dominant, disease-causing allele from one of their biological parents. However, one twin has symptoms of the genetic disease while the other does not. This is likely an example of… 1.) RNA interference 2.) pleiotropy 3.)
