Exercise 1: Albinism is a hereditary deficiency characterized by the absence of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair, due to the absence of a black pigment: the melanin. Tyrosinase is an enzyme implicated in the biosynthesis of this pigment. The gene coding for tyrosinase exists in different alleles. We consider only 2 alleles: allele A coding for the active tyrosinase responsible for the synthesis of melanin, and allele B coding for the inactive tyrosinase which doesn't allow the synthesis of Albinism melanin. The document below represents a partial sequence of a strand of the 2 alleles A and B. Number of triplet 80 81 82 83 84 85 Allele A TGC САА CGA TCC ТАТ СТТ Allele B TGC САА САА ТСС ТАТ 1. 1.1. Compare the sequences of the 2 alleles coding for tyrosinase. 1.2.What can you conclude concerning the position and the type of the mutation that took place? hook
