Chapter 25, Problem 25.9PS
QUANTITATIVE Genetic Mapping. The following table provides data concerning the frequency with which four genes (w, x, y, and z) located on the same chromosome recombine with each other.
- (a) Construct a genetic map indicating the order in which these four genes occur and the number of map units that separate the genes from each other.
- (b) In constructing this map, you may have noticed that the map distances are not exactly additive. Can you provide an explanation for this apparent discrepancy?

Question:
Explain how epigenetic marks and genomic imprinting are related. Provide a drawing to illustrate your point.
Gene Interaction and Epistasis
Hair color is due to the presence of melanin. There are two types of melanin produced by melanocytes. One is eumelanin, which is responsible for black (homozygous), brown (heterozygous), and blond (recessive) hair colors. The other is pheomelanin, which is responsible for red hair color. During melanin synthesis, MCR1gene converts pheomelanin to eumelanin. However, a variant of the MCR1 gene (MCR1variant), prevents this conversion.
A cross between a blond-haired mother and a red-haired father produced 100% brown-haired children. When they came of age, one child married a double heterozygote, and both were blessed with 7 children; 2 with black hair, 2 with brown hair, 1 with blond hair, and 2 with red hair.
Using the 7-step method, determine the genotypes of the P1, the F1, and the F2s. BOX your answers (if handwritten) or HIGHLIGHT your answers (if encoded).

Think Critically. Provide a concise explanation of your answer.
A mutation on an autosome causes a particular protein to be overproduced, and the excess protein accumulates in the liver and damages it. Would the resulting disorder most likely be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern?
Expression of the SYR gene on the Y chromosome gives rise to the male phenotype in humans. What do you think the inheritance pattern of SYR alleles is called?
22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also called DiGeorge syndrome, causes atypical parathyroid glands, a heart defect, and an underdeveloped thymus gland. About 85% of patients have a microdeletion of part of chromosome 22. A girl, her mother, and a maternal aunt have very mild DiGeorge syndrome. They all have a reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 22 and 2.
How can a microdeletion and a translocation cause the same symptoms?
Why were the people with the translocation less severely affected than the people with microdeletion?

- 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. Now, let's try that again! This time assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the left during transcription.

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?

- Concept 23. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides. This concept describes the discovery of the DNA sequencing technique that made modern biology and bioinformatics possible. The method was later used to sequence the human genome and genomes of many other organisms. This led to the accumulation of great numbers of nucleotide and protein sequences in the numerous databases. The concept 23 web page is here: http://www.dnaftb.org/23/ After reading the Concept page, answer the following questions. What was the Mendel’s definition of a gene? How was it different from the definition by Beadle and Tatum? Describe proteins based on the early sequencing efforts. What was the definition of a protein coding gene based on the genetic code? What are the beginning and ending codons of the gene’s protein coding sequence? What is the name of the method that makes use of a “defective” DNA nucleotide?
