ARVC5 is a disorder characterized by the replacement of healthy heart tissue with fatty fibrous tissue. Recent research has discovered the mutated gene that causes the disorder is on chromosome 3. People who have the mutation have a GCG triplet instead of the normal ACA triplet. The following is a section of a gene on chromosome 3: GGT GCG ACA ATT 1. Complete the following table. AA DNA sense strand DNA antisense strand GGT GCG ACA ATT mRNA tRNA 2. Indicate the change in the amino acid sequence resulting from the mutation in the gene described above., B I 123 ||| 14 E GO LG US X₂ x²
Colchicine is a chemical mutagen that inhibits the spindle formation and prevents anaphase, which retains the cell’s single restitution nucleus (doubled chromosome number). Suppose that an onion (2n=16) is subjected to three consecutive rounds of colchicine treatment, what will be the resulting chromosome number of the treated onion?
L, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the genes on the chromosome? D-R: 35 CM P-D: 5 CM L-R: 10 CM D-P: 30 CM D-L 25 CM P-R: 40 CM Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing your gene order to the possible answer choices.

A phenotypically abnormal individual has a phenotypically normalfather with an inversion on one copy of chromosome 7 and a phenotypicallynormal mother without any changes in chromosomestructure. The orders of genes along the two copies of chromosome7 in the father are as follows: R T D M centromere P U X Z C (normal chromosome 7)R T D U P centromere M X Z C (inverted chromosome 7) The phenotypically abnormal offspring has a chromosome 7 withthe following order of genes: R T D M centromere P U D T R Using a sketch, explain how this chromosome was formed. In youranswer, explain where the crossover occurred (i.e., between whichtwo genes).
Human adult hemoglobin is a tetramer containing two alpha (a) and two beta (b) polypeptide chains. The a gene cluster on chromosome 16 and the b gene cluster on chromosome 11 share amino acid similarities such that 61 of the amino acids of the a@globin polypeptide (141 amino acids long) are shared in identical sequence with the b@globin polypeptide (146 amino acids long). How might one explain the existence of two polypeptides with partially shared function and structure on two different chromosomes?

Below is a pedigree from one family (two parents and eight children). Four of the children (indicated by shaded shapes) are affected with a serious disease with an unknown genetic cause. a) For the disease, what pattern of inheritance (autosomal/sex-linked, recessive/dominant) is exhibited by this pedigree? b) Linkage analysis of the disease to a series of VNTR polymorphisms on human chromosome 5 is shown above. Is there evidence for linkage between the disorder and the VNTR? Briefly explain your answer.
