- Complementation tests of distinct recessive mutants, 1 through 8, produce the data in the matrix below. A plus (+) indicates complementation, meaning the phenotype of the combined alleles is wild type, and a minus (-) indicates a failure to complement meaning that a mutant phenotype results. Assume that the missing mutant combinations would yield data consistent with the entries that are shown. How many complementation groups are formed by these eight mutants?

On a Southern blot of genomic DNA cut with MstII and hybridized with the probe shown on the diagram below, a person with sickle anemia, carrying two S alleles, will show Choose an answer below: a single band at 1.1 kb. a single band at 1.3 kb. a single band at 0.2 kb. one band at 0.2 and one at 1.3 kb. one band at 1.1 and one at 1.3 kb.arrow_forward
- 1) Using the diagram below, sketch in the pattern of bands you would expect to see after digesting the DNA of the TT, Tt and tt genotypes of the TAS2R38 gene. Use the Base Pair Standards on the left of the diagram as a reference in drawing the positions of the bands.

- Three mutations were obtained in a bacterial gene. An antibody is available for the protein product of this gene. Both Northern analysis (RNA separated by electrophoresis, blotted, and probed with DNA) and Western analysis (proteins separated by electrophoresis, blotted, and probed with antibodies) were performed on the mutants. The results are summarized below. Northern Size Western Size 1 2 3 1 2 3 + Long Short Short Long For each mutation, what kind of mutation occurred and how do you know? a) Mutant 1 b) Mutant 2 c) Mutant 3arrow_forwardplease give thorough explanation for why answer is D with all stepsarrow_forwardA genetic variant is associated with high penetrance and low expressivity. This means the variant is associated with a: Question 15 options: High chance of showing disease symptoms and the disease is caused by a rare mutation. High chance of showing disease symptoms but the symptoms will be mild. Low chance of showing disease symptoms and the symptoms will be mild. High chance of showing disease symptoms and the symptoms will be severe. Low chance of showing disease symptoms but the symptoms will be severe.arrow_forward
- Y-STR and mtDNA tests have less impressive statistical weights than autosomal tests because..... They undergo a mutation rate that is at least ten times greater than that of nuclear genes There are thousands of copies of each in every cell and their information is redundant They both contain a relatively small number of genes and all are under strong selective constraint They are both involved in cytoplasmic inheritance and approximately 10% of individuals have been found to be chimeras They are paternally and maternally inherited, respectfully, and there is therefor no opportunity for recombination to occurarrow_forwardCan you please answer number 4arrow_forwardCap, EA1, and Sap are all genes/proteins of interest in this study. For each gene, what gene product is encoded and where is the gene (the literal DNA sequence) located physically in the cell?
