- A blood stain from a crime scene and blood samples from four suspects were analyzed by PCR using fluorescent primers associated with three STR loci: D3S1358, vWA, and FGA. The resulting electrophoretograms are shown below. The numbers beneath each peak identify the allele (upper box) and the height of the peak in relative fluorescence units (lower box). Solve, (a) Since everyone has two copies of each chromosome and therefore, two alleles of each gene, what accounts for the appearance ofonly one allele at some loci? (b) Which suspect is a possible source of the blood? (c) Could the suspect be identifi ed using just one of the three STR loci? (d) What can you conclude about the amount of DNA obtained from Suspect 1 compared to Suspect 4?arrow_forwardIf you are comparing the two telomeres in each entryin the following list, in which cases would you expectthe two telomeres always to have exactly the samenumber of TTAGGG repeats?a.

- You have identified a SNP marker that in one largefamily shows no recombination with the locus causinga rare hereditary autosomal dominant disease.Furthermore, you discover that all afflicted individuals in the family have a G base at this SNP on theirmutant chromosomes, while all wild-type chromosomes have a T base at this SNP. You would like tothink that you have discovered the disease locus andthe causative mutation but realize you need to consider other possibilities.a. What is another possible interpretation of the results?b. How would you go about obtaining additional genetic information that could support or eliminateyour hypothesis that the base-pair difference is responsible for the disease?arrow_forwardThe region of the normal hemoglobin gene used for genetic testing for sickle cell anemia contains a restriction site such that homozygous normal individuals show two DNA fragments. If a single nucleotide change in hemoglobin destroys that restriction site, then how many DNA fragments will be visible on a gel from individuals that are homozygous mutant? What about heterozygotes?arrow_forwardWith only one exception, the most commonly used STR loci are spread across the human genome,each on a separate chromosome.a. Why is it important to analyze STRs that are all on their own chromosomes?b. What is the exception to this? (i.e., which two loci are on the same human chromosomeand which chromosome are they on?)c. Using the UCSC Genome browser, look up the two loci that you answered in 2.b. one ata time. Include a rough hand-drawing or screenshot of the ideogram (pictograph,example below) of the chromosome and mark the approximate location of each locus.Example:d. Using your answer in 2.c. and your knowledge of the frequency of crossover events onhuman chromosomes (see chapters 5 and 6), in your opinion is the fact that these twoloci are on the same chromosome a problem for forensic genetic analysis?
