Question
Chapter 13, Problem 4ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
The data points that can suggest a relationship between the potential to develop oral cancer and the passive exposure to tobacco smoke.
Introduction:
The genetic map gives the depiction of the recombination frequencies between the genetic markers during crossovers. The crossover frequencies give the space between two genetic markers. There is a formation of covalent bonds because of smoking and chewing tobacco. It can lead to mutations.

Students have asked these similar questions
Genes with highly similar sequence are often located adjacent one another in the genome. Gene duplication commonly arises from errors in replication. When the organization of such adjacent genes is in an inverted orientation, this can reduce the expression of other genes that have similar sequence and are located on other chromosomes. Explain the mechanism of how this generally occurs.
Please state the answer in details: what is the mechanism?
How it happens?
Why this happens?
When it happens?
And every other necessary information.
Discuss the following types of mutations, with reference to specific genetic disorders: i) Chromosomal deletion; ii) Reciprocal translocation; and iii) Haploinsufficiency
Discuss the following mutations with reference to specific genetic disorders: i) Faulty DNA repair; ii) Gain-of-function; and iii) Trinucleotide repeats.
Give steps for each mutations.

- Gene mutations can be classified in two major ways:(1) hereditary or germline mutations that are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body.(2) acquired or somatic mutations that occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body.If there is no family history of a particular disease but a child has the disease then it may have arisen due to a(n) ________ mutation early during development.

Check All That Apply Only the autosomes should be analyzed. Both affected brothers and the affected child could be compound heterozygotes for two different rare mutations in the same gene that affect gene function. Both affected brothers and the affected child could be homozygous for the same rare mutation that affects the function of a gene.
