Chapter 18, Problem 5TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
The scientists mapping human SNPs noticed that groups of SNPs tended to be inherited together. In blocks known as "haplotypes." ranging from 5.000 to 200,000 base pairs. There are only four or five commonly occurring combinations of SNPs per haplotype. Integrating what you've learned throughout this chapter and this unit, propose an explanation for this observation.

Human Genome ProjectIn 2003, the Human Genome Project was successfully completed, determining the exact sequence of the entire human genome, which is made up of 3 billion nucleotide base pairs. The data generated from the Human Genome Project is freely available online to anyone. Many pieces of research and innovations stemmed from the HGP, allowing the identifications of 1 800 disease genes. Many of the corporations using the results from the HGP are privately funded, and research is being done for profit even though the HGP results are provided freely.
Identify one advantage and one disadvantage of corporate funding and patenting genetic research results.

- You learned in the chapter that an STR locus is a locus where alleles differ in the number of copies of a short, tandemly repeated DNA sequence. PCR is used to determine the number of alleles present, as shown by the size of the DNA fragment amplified. In the Figure below are the results of PCR analysis for STR alleles at a locus where the repeat unit length is 9 bp, and alleles are known that have 5 to 11 copies of the repeat. Given the STR alleles present in the adults, state whether each of the four juveniles could or could not be an off-spring of those two adults. Explain your answers.arrow_forward.

- When comparing evolutionary similarities between different genes within a gene family, it is usually more straightforward to compare genes by using the protein sequences of gene products rather than DNA sequences of the genes themselves. Explain why this is the case. (Cover 4 points)arrow_forwardBriefly explain how Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are done. Then, using this example of a Manhattan Plot explain what each of the X-axis and the Y-axis signifies in a GWAS.arrow_forwardConcept 23. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides. This concept describes the discovery of the DNA sequencing technique that made modern biology and bioinformatics possible. The method was later used to sequence the human genome and genomes of many other organisms. This led to the accumulation of great numbers of nucleotide and protein sequences in the numerous databases. The concept 23 web page is here: http://www.dnaftb.org/23/ After reading the Concept page, answer the following questions. What was the Mendel’s definition of a gene? How was it different from the definition by Beadle and Tatum? Describe proteins based on the early sequencing efforts. What was the definition of a protein coding gene based on the genetic code? What are the beginning and ending codons of the gene’s protein coding sequence? What is the name of the method that makes use of a “defective” DNA nucleotide?

- Imagine a 9-armed, hairy monster, who lives in Monster Land. It has a genome that is very similar to a mammal genome (diploid, same type of sex determination, etc). There are three different colours of this monster: Purple, Yellow, and Purple and Yellow mixed. Here is a table of 20 individuals and 10 SNPs, where the name of the SNP is the chromosome and the position (chromosome.position). Using this table, do a GWAS with only these 10 SNPs. How many markers of the genome are significantly associated with the trait?

They undergo a mutation rate that is at least ten times greater than that of nuclear genes There are thousands of copies of each in every cell and their information is redundant They both contain a relatively small number of genes and all are under strong selective constraint They are both involved in cytoplasmic inheritance and approximately 10% of individuals have been found to be chimeras They are paternally and maternally inherited, respectfully, and there is therefor no opportunity for recombination to occurarrow_forwardTake a look at question 3 in More Genetic TIPS. Let’s suppose amale is heterozygous for two polymorphic sequence-tagged sites.STS-1 exists in two sizes: 211 bp and 289 bp. STS-2 also exists intwo sizes: 115 bp and 422 bp. A sample of sperm was collectedfrom this man, and individual sperm were placed into 30 separatetubes. Into each of the 30 tubes were added the primers that amplifySTS-1 and STS-2, and then the samples were subjected toPCR. The following results were obtained:arrow_forward
