People who carry a theoretical genetic disorder (called B-disease) can be identified from
a 2kb DNA sequence. People who carry this genetic disorder have a single nucleotide
polymorphism that results in a change of GTATCC to GGATCC, a site that only occurs
once at nucleotide number 750 in this DNA sequence. Answer the following questions
based on the information provided.

- A method for detecting methylated CpGs involvesthe use of a chemical called bisulfite, which convertscytosine to uracil but leaves methylated cytosine untouched. You want to know whether a particularCpG dinucleotide at one location in the genome ismethylated on one or both strands in a tissue sample.The genomic sequence containing this CpG is:5’...TCCATCGCTGCA…3’. You take genomicDNA from the sample tissue, treat it exhaustivelywith bisulfite, and then use flanking primers toPCR-amplify the region including this CpGdinucleotide. You then want to Sanger sequence(see Fig. 9.7) the amplified PCR product. a. After you treat genomic DNA with bisulfite, the twoDNA strands will melt into single strands. Why?b. Your answer to part (a) introduces a potential complication, because if you do not account for this result of bisulfite treatment, the PCR primers willnot amplify the DNA. What special considerationswould be necessary when you design your PCRprimers for this experiment? Could one pair…arrow_forwardWhy does evenly distributed peak in DNA chromatogram is an indication of a good sequence?arrow_forwardIn the Holliday model for homologous recombination shown, the resolution steps can produce recombinant or nonrecombinantchromosomes.

Based on this estimate, about how many de novomutations (that is, mutations not found in the genomes of your parents) are present in your own genome?b. Where and when did these de novo mutations inyour genome most likely occur?arrow_forwardThe period gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes for a stretch of Thr-Gly repeated in tandem. In natural populations, the three most common alleles encode for 17, 20 and 23 Thr-Gly repeats. The amplification by PCR of the allele encoding for 20 Thr-Gly repeats produces a fragment of 320 bp. Using the same set of primers, what is the size expected when amplifying the 17 Thr-Gly allele? 317 303 314 302 In a certain species of plant loci A, B and C have an additive effect on the colour of the flower.

Nonetheless, with validated experimental evidence (e.g. laboratory and population genetics data), the marker can be used in codominance marker genotyping. Briefly explain each case below: a) Codominant marker targets specific locus and reveals allelic variations in that locus among DNA samples. b) Dominant marker: primers can complement other repeat sequences or in multiple loci thereby non-specificity in sampled genomes.arrow_forward

The results from gel electrophoresis shows three different fragment lengths (i.e. alleles/band positions) corresponding to 3 alleles; Allele F (250bp), Allele R (180bp), and Allele Y (100bp). The numbers at the top of each lane is the number of fish observed with that particular genotype or banding pattern in the population. Note that a single band means a homozygote for that allele (band size). a) Calculate the allele frequency for Allele Y. (b) Calculate the genotype frequencies for the following genotypes: FF, FR, and RY. (c) What is the expected number of Chinook salmon with homozygous genotype for allele Y in the study population?
