Chapter 18, Problem 1SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Cell division is a process in which a cell splits into daughter cells. In the process of cell division, the chromatin present in the nucleus shrinks and forms a thread-like structure called the chromosomes (contains DNA). There are mainly two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis takes place in somatic cell, and meiosis takes place in reproductive cells. Meiosis I and meiosis II are the two separate sequential events in the meiosis process.

People who carry a theoretical genetic disorder (called B-disease) can be identified from a 2kb DNA sequence. People who carry this genetic disorder have a single nucleotide polymorphism that results in a change of GTATCC to GGATCC, a site that only occurs once at nucleotide number 750 in this DNA sequence. Answer the following questions based on the information provided. (a) How can you develop a simple molecular test with enzyme BamH to identify the genetic disorder? ( (b) If you have carried out the molecular test (based on the information above) on a 100 individual and found that 24 were healthy (BB) and 26 were carriers (bb); 1) What is the ratio of heterozygous? 2) Show how can you identify the three types from the agarose gelarrow_forward
