LO70 Identify whether a trait is influenced by the environment or not given an example. Squirrels exposed to pesticides present demethylation of genes associated with heart disease which is passed on to future generations even when they have not been exposed to pesticides. This scenario is a result of: Epigenetics and the environment because the exposure to pesticides influences the methylation of the gene The environment because the exposure to pesticides influences the expression of the gene Epigenetics because the expression of the gene depends on the exposure of the pesticide and methylation pattern Genetics because the methylation of the gene determines its expression

Discuss the similarities and differences of phenotypic variations that are caused by epigenetic gene regulation versus variation in gene sequences (epigenetics versus genetics).
DNA methylation prevents gene expression. Methylation and de-methylation are stimulated by a variety of environmental factors. Methylation patterns in DNA can be passed onto daughter cells including eggs and sperm. An implication of these facts is that Group of answer choices A. methylation is rare B. fewer and fewer genes will be expressed each generation C. more genes will be expressed in offspring than in their parents D. old individuals will express fewer genes than young individuals E. environmental effects on individuals can have effects on their offspring
For each element in the list that follows, indicate whatkind of molecule it is (DNA, RNA, protein, smallmolecule), whether it acts as a positive or negativeregulator, what stage of gene expression it affects, andwhether it acts in cis or in trans. (In its most generalsense, the term cis describes elements that affect the function of the molecule of which it is a part, whiletrans describes elements on one molecule that affectthe function of a different molecule.)a. Lac repressorb. lac operatorc. CRPd. CRP-binding sitee. Trp repressorf. charged tRNATrp (in terms of its function at thetrp operon)g. the antiterminator at the trp operonh. a terminator in the expression platform of ariboswitchi. an sRNA that blocks mRNA translation
Which mechanisms for regulating gene expression may be applied for the treatment of such diseases? Propose a method of treatment. Explain how it might work. Reference: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/ar3317
The genetic modification of plants for food is a hot-button issue around the world. Genes transplanted to corn, potato, soybean, and other food strains can confer desired traits, such as resistance to pests, which lessens the need for toxic pesticides. Though genetically modified foods are thought to be safe to eat, their impact on the environment may not be fully known. Do you worry about the long-term effects of genetically modified foods on your health, or the health of the environment? Do the positive impacts outweigh the negatives?
Why is it difficult to study whether a trait is due to epigenetic changes or due to something else? (Hint: What are the other things that may cause disease?) (Minimum of 2 complete sentences.)
Select all the examples of mutations that are likely to have a global effect on gene expressio
Suppose you had funding to do a genome-wide gene expression experiment (20,000 genes). You can use a total of 20 RNA samples. Briefly describe the experiment you would run. In the context of your experiment, what is a false positive? In the context of your experiment, what is a false negative
Gene mutations can be classified in two major ways:(1) hereditary or germline mutations that are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body.(2) acquired or somatic mutations that occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body.If there is no family history of a particular disease but a child has the disease then it may have arisen due to a(n) ________ mutation early during development. A) acquired B) inherited C) silent D) transition
Many aspects of gene function can be nicely explained with the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis, which states that a gene controls the production of an enzyme. Which of the following findings about gene expression, though, requires an expansion of this simple concept? Choose an answer below: Non-enzyme proteins are made from genes too. Some genes code for RNA molecules only. Enzymes composed of different polypeptides are coded for by more than one gene. a and c, but not b a, b, and c
Please answer all questions if possible. What do loss of function alleles tell us about normal gene function? Why would a researcher be interested in over- or mis-expression phenotypes? Why are genetic screens useful? Why do biologists do screens? What are we trying to do? What is the Big Picture purpose?
