Summary Introduction

To review:

The role played by the kidneys as endocrine glands.

Introduction:

The kidney is an endocrine gland present in the posterior side of the abdominal cavity. It is a bean-shaped organ present in pairs and on either side of the spinal cord. It is the main part of the excretory system. The kidneys secrete hormones such as erythropoietin, renin, and vitamin D (calcitriol). The target organ of these hormones is the small intestine.

This practice question is from the textbook "Genetics: From Genes to Genomes". It is chapter 13, question 9.   a. Which two of the breakpoints could yield a deletion? b. Write the sequence and polarity of a 16-base primer that, in conjunction with primer A, will allow you to diagnose the presence of a deletion in a patient’s genomic DNA. The evidence should be positive, not negative. (That is, you will see a PCR product whose presence and/or size is specific to the deletion; the absence of a band is not informative.) c. Which two of the breakpoints could yield an inversion? d. Write the sequence and polarity of a 16-base primer that, in conjunction with primer A, will allow you to diagnose the presence of an inversion in a patient’s genomic DNA. Your answer should show the primer that would yield the longest possible diagnostic PCR product. Your primer cannot cross any of the red lines. e. Which two of the breakpoints could yield a reciprocal translocation? (Two possible answers exist;…
MyoD is a transcriptional factor that acts specifically in muscle cells. It is hypothesized that Id proteins indirectly repress the transcription of muscle-specific proteins by inhibiting the function of MyoD. Which of the following are mechanisms by which Id proteins act as indirect repressors? (choose all that applies) Compete with activators for access to an enhancer. Bind the activation domain of an activator bound to an enhancer. Bind to activators and hold them in the cytoplasm. Form heterodimers with activators and lessen the homodimers of activators. Please explain each answer choice please.
