2. What is the relationship between the C and T allele of position -13910? Is one allele dominant over the other? Or is it not fully dominant? Explain, using data to support your explanation. 3. What is a possible explanation for how the C or T allele causes differences in lactase persistence (that is, the effect of the different alleles on gene expression and/or function and thus phenotype)? Be specific in your hypothesis about how the C and T alleles affect RNA, protein, and thus phenotype. What additional data would you like to support your possible explanation? 4. Brainstorm another nucleotide change (mutation) in LCT or another gene that could result in a similar phenotype difference in lactose persistence/lactose intolerance. Explain why this change could result in a similar phenotype difference.
