The expected result of the blot (a, b, or c) based upon the information about ferritin mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) regulation and the expected result if, the gel is probed with complementary DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of transferrin receptor mRNA. Introduction: The Northern blotting technique is used to identify the type and amount of RNA that isexpressed in a cell. The RNAs that are isolated from the cells are separated by gel electrophoresis which, is then blotted to a nylon membrane. The membrane is placed in a solution of a labeled DNA probe which, is complementary to a particular RNA. The bands thus formed, are analyzed to determine the type of RNA complementary to probed DNA and the position or thickness of the bands reveal the amount of RNA that is expressed in a particular cell.

According to a recent study, 1 out of 50,000 people will be diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis can be caused by a mutant form of the CFTR gene (dominant gene symbol is F and mutant is f). A. Using the rate of incidence above, what is the frequency of carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele for CFTR in the US? (3 pts) B. In a clinical study, 400 people from the population mentioned in (A.) were genotyped for BRCA1 Listed below are the results. Are these results in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium? Use Chi Square to show whether or not they are. (3 pts) # of women BRCA1 genotype BB 390 Bb bb 12pt v 10 0 V Paragraph B IUA BIUA > V T² v <

Case Study—Ella Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day. This morning she’s making a sandwich for her lunch.
