(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of different probable genotypes in offspring if the man and his wife both are carriers of the recessive allele causing phenylketonuria (PKU).

Concept introduction: During gamete formation, two alleles of a gene segregate into different gametes. This is based on the Mendel’s law of segregation. After the genetic cross, the allele combinations are predicted that determine the genotype of the offspring. The occurrence of genotypes can be determined on the basis of probability rules.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The probability of one or more of the three children having disease.

Concept introduction: During gamete formation, two alleles of a gene segregate into different gametes. This is based on Mendel’s law of segregation. After the genetic cross, the allele combinations are predicted which determine the genotype of the offspring. The occurrence of genotypes can be determined on the basis of probability rules.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The probability of all three children having disease.

Concept introduction: During gamete formation, two alleles of a gene segregate into different gametes. This is based on Mendel’s law of segregation. After the genetic cross, the allele combinations are predicted which determine the genotype of the offspring. The occurrence of genotypes can be determined on the basis of probability rules.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The probability of one child having a normal phenotype.

Concept introduction: During gamete formation, two alleles of a gene segregate into different gametes. This is based on Mendel’s law of segregation. After the genetic cross, the allele combinations are predicted which determine the genotype of the offspring. The occurrence of genotypes can be determined on the basis of probability rules.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
Molecular Biology Please help. Thank you. Discuss/define the following:(a) poly A polymerase (b) trans-splicing (c) operon
