- Which of the following best describes genome wide association study? genomes of diseased and healthy individuals are compared to identify the mutations that cause disease molecular markers are identified that are unique to diseased genomes the frequency of molecular markers alleles are compared between diseased and healthy individuals to identify alleles at higher frequency in diseased individuals tumor genomes are sequenced to identify genes with unusual expression patterns individuals from diverse human populations are sequenced to identify how they are related to each otherarrow_forwardNeed help to understand about the Central Dogma, with questions below. The Central Dogma What is the big picture? What is the importance of this concept in biology? What are the processes that are controlled or regulated or affected by this concept? Why must these processes be controlled or regulated in the first place?arrow_forwardMutagens, when introduced to the body can always cause cancer. Is this statement true? Select the correct response: No. Mutagens do not necessarily, directly equate to the cause of cancer. A cancer is usually caused by a substance called carcinogen that increases the probability of inducing a tumor. Mutagens can be limited to the result of spontaneous or induced mutations that causes changes and/or errors in the coding and reading of the DNA strand and in the genetic make- up of the organism involved. Though some mutagens are considered as carcinogens, not all mutagens can lead to cancer. Yes. The terms can be used interchangeably even in the medical field. Yes. Mutagens does equate to the cause of cancer. A cancer is usually caused by a substance called carcinogen that increases the probability of inducing a tumor. However, mutagens is not only limited to the result of spontaneous or induced mutations that causes changes and/or errors in the coding and reading of the DNA strand and in…arrow_forward

- Scientists look at thousands of mutagenized flies, one at a time, under a microscope. They are looking for flies that don't look like they have developed normally. They find a remarkable fly with an extra thorax and a complete extra set of wings. This is an example of: A crazy waste of time A forward genetic screen A reverse genetic screenarrow_forwardIn which tissue(s) is the mRNA and protein highly expressed in? 1. Go to: https://www.proteinatlas.org/2. Type the name of your protein in the search bar. Click "Search"3. Click on the gene name of your protein4. Click on the "Tissue" icon5. Scroll down to the graphs showing Protein and mRNA expression.6. Search for the tissue type that shows high expression in both the protein and mRNA graphs. Kidney Placenta Adipose tissue Stomach Ovary *Can be more than one answer*arrow_forwardSearch for actual mutations that happened to the E. coli bacteria (prokaryotic cells) and where the mutation happened and in which gene. Is the mutated trait recessive or dominant? lastly describe how harmful, or beneficial those mutations were?arrow_forward
- The task in this assessment is to describe how a specific gene is replicated and used to make its protein. Choose an important gene for human cells. There are over 20,000 genes in our genome so to help you narrow it down you can think of an enzyme or protein we have studied earlier in the course. You will need to find and describe each of the following details: on which chromosome the gene is located, how the chromosome is opened up to allow for replication or translation, how DNA is replicated, how a gene is transcribed, how a gene is translated, what modifications the protein undergoes after translation, how the gene product is used in the cell. Present your information in a narrative style that describes a series of steps. Think of how the sequence of the processes can be organized into an interesting storyline. You may find you can compose an interesting narrative by making an infographic, an animation, or a comic strip using a program like Pixton. Your narrative should include…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements describe how genes, proteins, and traits are related? Select all that apply. Proteins carry out activities in the cell that affect traits. Genes carry out functions in the cell that include providing structure and controlling chemical reactions. Genes contain information about traits. The nucleotide sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a protein. Proteins are molecules in the cell that encode genes.
