Chapter 18, Problem 1U
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

In genomics, maps are used to located different gene on a chromosome, subregions of chromosome and so on. Maps of genome are constructed at different levels of resolution using different types of information. Fundamentally, maps can be distinguished into physical maps and genetic maps.

Answer to Problem 1U

Correct answer:

A genetic map is based on the relative position of genes on chromosome. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Option (b) is given as “relative position of genes on chromosome”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reason for the correct statement:

Genetic maps are the types of maps that are used to identify the distance between the genes and the locus of a gene. It places relative gene location over the chromosome, based on their recombination frequency.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “sequence of the DNA”.

The sequence of the DNA can be provided by genome sequencing rather than genetic map. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “location of sites of restriction enzyme cleavage”.

Restriction maps provide the location of site of cleavage by restriction enzyme. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “banding pattern on a chromosome”.

Chromosome maps that are studied by cytologists provide the banding patterns on a chromosome. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

A genetic map is constructed on the basis of relative location of genes on chromosomes.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
