Question
One of the two genes known to be mutated in cases of Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern but known to affect males more often than females) is the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S (CACNA1S). What is known about the gene is recorded here:

- The human phenotype is regulated by epigenetic control of gene expression. Discuss the three main types of epigenetic regulation, illustrating your answer with examples of diseases arising from impairment of each of these processes. 600 words.arrow_forwardIn Metastatic Breast Cancer [such as in Breast Invasive Ductal Carcinoma; Breast Invasive Carcinoma, NOS; Breast Invasive Cancer, NOS; Invasive Breast Carcinoma; Breast Invasive Lobular Carcinoma; Breast Mixed Ductal and Lobular Carcinoma] what role does the genes Tp53 and Tp63 have? Would one of them affect the other (i.e. mutation, etc) or there is not relationship among the two genes at all.arrow_forwardFollowing a mutagenesis experiment to identify novel genes affecting the circadian clock in Drosophila melanogaster you discover several mutants. You start considering two of those mutants that you call c and d. The two homozygous c/c and d/d are arrhythmic (arrhythmic is the definition of their phenotype), whereas the two heterozygous C/c and D/d are rhythmic (rhythmic is the definition of their phenotype) with a 24h period. You make two true-breeding stocks: stock 3 homozygous for c and stock 4 homozygous for d. You cross them in both directions and in both cases you observe complementation with no difference between males and females. Then you take the progeny of one cross, for instance the F1 of Females 3 x Males 4, and you perform a Testcross. Out of 1000 flies resulting from the Testcross only 125 are rhythmic. Which is the genotype of the rhythmic flies resulting from the testcross? Select only one answer 1. C/C d/d 2. C/c D/d 3. C/c d/d 4. c/c…arrow_forward

It is a central nervous system neurodegenerative disease that most often affects infants, though older children and adults can have late-onset forms of the disease. The defective gene prevents the body from making a protein called hexosaminidase A. Without, hexosaminidase A, chemicals called gangliosides build up in the nerve cells of the brain, destroying brain cells. If individuals II-1 and II-2 have another child, what is the probability they will have a child affected by Tay-Sachs?

In the 1990s, several researchers showed evidence that the allele of a cholesterol precursor gene, APO E4, increased risk of developing the disorder compared to APO E2 or APO E3. This was especially pronounced if patients carried two alleles of APO E4. However, not all people with APO E4 develop the disorder and some without it will present with Alzheimer's nevertheless. This suggests other genes influence development of the disease. Current research has elucidated dozens of genes that interact with APO E4 pathways in hundreds of ways. As many as 27 of the interactions are epistatic, with some as dominant epistasis and some as recessive epistasis. In addition, some of the gene candidates for non-APO E4 Alzheimer’s have other relationships such as dominant, codominant or incomplete dominant. No reliable cure currently exists for Alzheimer’s…arrow_forward

When the size of muscle cells increases, they will often develop additional nuclei in their intracellular environment. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for the expression of additional nu- clei in growing muscle cells? A B с D Nutrients entering the cells will be digested and recycled more quickly by the additional nuclei to better support the subcellular components in the cell as its size increases. The ATP molecules that are produced in the additional nuclei will be able to better sup- port the increased energetic demands on the muscle cell as its size increases. The addition of more nuclei to the cell will allow more genetic information to be stored in the cell and allow the cell to produce additional types of proteins as its size increases. Additional nuclei allow subcellular components to continue to be sufficiently expressed and transferred…arrow_forward
