the mutations

Associated SNPs outside of gene no effect on protein production or function T G Associated SNPs within gene no effect on protein. production or function Regulatory sequences A Coding region C T www.Biolnteractive.org Noncoding SNP: changes amount of protein produced Unassociated SNP far from gene Causative SNPs within gene on same chromosome or different chromosome Protein Coding SNP: changes amino acid sequence Figure 3. A diagram showing various ways. in which a SNP could be associated with a certain gene and its trait. GWAS in the News Read the following news release, which describes a GWAS study with dogs. Note that a dog's coat refers to its fur or hair. Variants in Three Genes Account for Most Dog Coat Differences Variants in just three genes acting in different combinations account for the wide range of coat textures seen in dogs from the poodle's tight curls to the beagle's stick-straight fur. A team led by researchers from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI),…

Which of the following is NOT true about mutations?   A. Mutations can be harmful but not beneficial to the cell  B. Nucleotide substitution in DNA can cause nonsense mutations C. Nucleotide substitution in DNA can cause missense mutations D. Mutagens increase the rate of mutation, but mutations are still random  E. Nucleotide insertion or deletion in DNA can cause frameshift mutations

If a change in a DNA sequence occurred, could that affect the mRNA? Why or why not? Group of answer choices 1. no because the mRNA is not identical to the DNA 2. no because the mRNA does not need the DNA to be made 3. yes because the mRNA is made using the DNA as a template 4. yes because the mRNA is identical to the DNA

1. The diagram below represents a segment of a gene on two chromosomes. Normal gene A A C C T Mutated gene A G C C The change in the gene sequence is an example of a

8. Describe the steps involved in the process of genetic engineering via recombinant DNA technology. 9. Identify one specific example of how this process has been used. 10. Using the example provided in question 9, explain the rationale for the creation of this transgenic organism.

1.Outside of a random mutation, the prion that causes Mad Cow was probably passed to other cows via Group of answer choices Hormones Lack of light in factories Cows having to eat other cows

Choose a genetic disorder to research. Your description should include information about the genetic mutation that causes the disorder, the effects and symptoms of the mutation, how it is acquired, and how common it is. Additionally, isthere anyone famous or important who has ever had this disorder? Does the disorder have any advantages?

7) A patient has discovered a lump in their breast. The doctors decide to biopsy (take tissue samples from) the lump. They take 7 tissue samples from different regions of the lump. Would you expect the genetic profile/mutations in every single sample of cells to be the same? Why or why not?
