Chapter 20, Problem 20.10PS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the differences observed in the mutant knockout mouse strains and mutant flies can be explained.
Introduction: The identity of body parts in mammals and flies is affected by the Hox genes but in the knockout mouse strains made in Mario Carpecchi’s laboratory, individual Hox genes are deleted. They show a very mild

guide RNA complementary to the first exon of Gene Y is expressed in all tissues. You subsequently
sequence Gene Y in both brain and liver tissue. What would expect in each tissue? You can assume
that the CRISPRICas9 system will impact both copies of Gene Y in cells, and that the first exon of
Gene Y is necessary for Gene Ys function.

- I am more confused. how about we start from begining, you post answers on here, and then we go from there? 1. Identify the open reading frame in the following DNA sequence, the protein that this gene encodes for, its function, and the source. 2. "Look carefully at the DNA sequence and identify the start site for transcription" 3. Click on the DNA sequence from the start site of transcription, select all of the sequence, and copy the sequence. Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence (gene) you submit. Next click on blastx (translated nucleotide protein). Paste the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll down and click BLAST.

I will thumb up You are studying the regulation of the lactose operon in Escherichia coli, by measuring expression of the lacZ gene (i.e production of beta-galactosidase).(a) You identify several loss-of-function mutations in which lacZ is never expressed, in the presence and absence of glucose and lactose. What components of the lac operon could be mutated to produce this phenotype? List all possibilities.arrow_forwardVARIATIONS IN GENE EXPRESSION In humans, the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene involved in sugar metabolism is X-linked. The dominant allele (G) codes for fast enzymes for normal cell functioning while the recessive allele (g) codes for slow enzymes, which are responsible for the reduced enzymatic activity of cells. However, the presence of slow enzymes has minimal effect in the overall functioning of heterozygotes, thus normal. Recessives, however, are more prone to oxidative reactions that speed up the cell damaging process, thus weak (but not lethal). If random inactivation occurs during dosage compensation, what would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the children of a heterozygous mother and a recessive father? Show COMPLETE cross.arrow_forward

For example, changes can be made to the coding sequence of a gene to determine how alterations in the amino acid sequence affect the function of a protein. Let's suppose that you are interested in the functional importance of a particular glutamic acid (an amino acid) within a protein you are studying. By site-directed mutagenesis, you make mutant proteins in which this glutamic acid codon has been changed to other codons. You then test the encoded mutant proteins for functionality. The results are as follows: Functionality (%) Normal protein 100 Mutant proteins containing Тугosine Phenylalanine 3 Aspartic acid 94 Glycine From these results, what would you conclude about the functional significance of this glutamic acid within the protein?arrow_forward
- Part I. Structure-Function Relationships in Genes 1. Consider the "two-line model" of a gene shown below - each line represents one strand of a DNA double helix, and the transcription start site is indicated as +1. Use the two-line models provided when answering the following questions. 3' 5' +1 Assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the right during transcription. On the diagram above, do the following: • Label "upstream" and "downstream" on this gene • Label where you would find the promoter min I • Draw a box where you would expect to find the TATA box • Draw a third line below the model representing the RNA transcript (label the ends!) • Label one of the DNA strands as the template strand 3' 2.

Mutations in the IL2RG gene cause approximately 30 percent of severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) cases in humans. These mutations result in alterations to a protein component of cytokine receptors that are essential for proper development of the immune system. The IL2RG gene is composed of eight exons and contains upstream and downstream sequences that are necessary for proper transcription and translation. Below are some of the mutations observed. For each, explain its likely influence on the IL2RG gene product (assume its length to be 375 amino acids).
