Summary Introduction

To determine: Which mice showed the greatest improvement in memory between the first and the second test.

Concept introduction: Autism is a neurological disorder in which patients have impaired social interactions, repetitive and stereotyped behavior. The condition appears due to mutation in the gene neuroligin 3, an adhesion protein that connects brain cells together. The mutation causes substitution of a cysteine (C) amino acid by arginine (R) in position 451.

Kindly check if this is correct.
can you please help me out with this ? Mutations in the IL2RG gene cause approximately 30 percent of severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) cases in humans. These mutations result in alterations to a protein component of cytokine receptors that are essential for proper development of the immune system. The IL2RG gene is composed of eight exons and contains upstream and downstream sequences that are necessary for proper transcription and translation. Below are some of the mutations observed. For each, explain its likely influence on the IL2RG gene product (assume its length to be 375 amino acids).   Nonsense mutation in a coding region   Insertion in Exon 1, causing frameshift   Insertion in Exon 7, causing frameshift   Missense mutation   Deletion in Exon 2, causing frameshift   Deletion in Exon 2, in frame   (g) Large deletion covering Exons 2 and 3
