Jekyll-Hyde Afflicted Spider Curse Afflicted Jekyll-Hyde/Spider Curse Human 2. II 2 III 3. Jekyll-Hyde disease is characterized by transformation into an unfeeling, aggressive, alter ego at night. While the "Spider Curse" is a disease that causes affected individuals to grow extra arms and extra eyes during a full moon. The genes responsible for these diseases sort independently and both traits run in one family. Based on the above pedigree answer the following questions: What is the mode of inheritance for Jekyll-Hyde disease? (Hint: look at individuals IIl-1 & III-3) O a. Autosomal Dominant O b. Autosomal Recessive O c. X-Linked Dominant O d. X-linked Recessive What evidence supports your hypothesis? Give at least 2 pieces of information from the pedigree that support your answer to 3a.

______________ is a kind of spontaneous mutation that results from a short-term, reversible phenomenon that leads to abnormal base pairing during DNA replications, followed by another round of DNA replication which results in one of the two daughter DNA molecules containing a point mutation. Group of answer choices Tautomeric shift Frameshift mutation Nonsense mutation Pyrimidine dimer Conditional mutation
A 60 years old man comes to your clinic presenting with stomach pain, sore muscles, fever, and dark urine. He has also poor appetite and nausea. Laboratory findings are the elevation of liver enzymes. Finally PCR results declared that he is suffering from HCV. There exist so many biological, genetic and environmental factors that he might be suffered from Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Research findings indicate that this transformation may be due to Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) of any of the gene (like SNP in TGF-beta). By having the knowledge of molecular techniques writes the name and full form of that technique that can be used for the determination of SNP

Aflatoxin B1 is a highly mutagenic and carcinogenic compound produced by certain fungi that infect crops such as peanuts. Aflatoxin is a large, bulky molecule that chemically bonds to the base guanine (G) to form the aflatoxin-guanine adduct that is pictured below. In the figure below, the aflatoxin is orange, and the guanine base is purple. This adduct distorts the DNA double helix and blocks replication. a. What type(s) of DNA repair system is (are) most likely to be involved in repairing the damage caused by exposure of DNA to aflatoxin B1? b, Recent evidence suggests that the adduct of guanine and aflatoxin B1 can attack the bond that connects it to deoxyribose; this liberates the adducted base, forming an apurinic site. How does this new information change your answer to part (a)?
Heinz Shuster collected the following data on the base composition of ribgrass mosaic virus (H. Shuster, in The Nucleic Acids: Chemistry and Biology, vol. 3, E. Chargaff and J. N. Davidson, Eds. New York: Academic Press, 1955). On the basis of this information, is the hereditary information of the ribgrass mosaic virus RNA or DNA? Is it likely to be single stranded or double stranded? Percentage A G C T U Ribgrass mosaic virus 29.3 25.8 18.0 0.0 27.0
A man in his early 30s suddenly developed weakness in hishands and neck, followed weeks later by burning musclepain—all symptoms of late-onset muscular dystrophy. Hisinternist ordered genetic tests to determine whether he had oneof the most common adult-onset muscular dystrophies—myotonicdystrophy type 1 (DM1) or myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). Thetests detect mutations in the DMPK and CNBP genes, the onlygenes known to be associated with DM1 and DM2. While awaitingthe results of the gene tests, the internist explained that thedisease-causing mutations in these genes do not result in changesto the coding sequence. Rather, myotonic dystrophies resultfrom increased, or expanded, numbers of tri- and tetranucleotiderepeats in the 3 untranslated region of the DMPK or CNBP genes.The doctor went on to explain that the presence of RNAs withexpanded numbers of repeats leads to aberrant alternative splicingof other mRNAs, causing widespread disruption of cellular pathways.This discussion…
Now, figure out the complementation groups. This shows how many genes are involved in this pathway. Some of the mutant classes in the previous problem must contain more than one complementation group (gene) For example class 2 is defined by mutants 1,3,4,6, and 7. These mutants may, or may not, all be in the same gene. Complementation testing will help you know if they are, or are not, in the same gene. So there are actually additional steps between some of the letters. For example, maybe instead of XàY, it is really XàFàGàY.

Why do scientists believe that the sickle-cell trait has not evolved out of the human population yet considering how deadly it is to be homozygous for the sickle cell gene?
Y-STR and mtDNA tests have less impressive statistical weights than autosomal tests because..... They undergo a mutation rate that is at least ten times greater than that of nuclear genes There are thousands of copies of each in every cell and their information is redundant They both contain a relatively small number of genes and all are under strong selective constraint They are both involved in cytoplasmic inheritance and approximately 10% of individuals have been found to be chimeras They are paternally and maternally inherited, respectfully, and there is therefor no opportunity for recombination to occur
Based on standard MS- LS3-1: Fish in a cave system in Mexico is missing its eyes, has thin, translucent skin, and is relatively small (7-10 cm in length).
