Students have asked these similar questions
a. How do scientists apply the concept of linkage disequilibrium to identify disease alleles?
b. Which specific phrase is used when such markers are identified by restriction endonucleases and a particular set of DNA fragments is generated?
STR markers:
are point mutations detectable by DNA sequencing
are variations in the number of repeats of very short DNA motifs (2-10 nucleotides)
□have high polymorphism
are mutations leading to proteins or blood groups that can be differentiated by antigenic testing from a blood sample
☐have low polymorphism
no correct answer
are changes of a few nucleotides leading to the absence or presence of a site recognized by a restriction enzyme
are variations in the number of repeats of medium-sized DNA motifs (10-100 nucleotides)
can be located in coding sequences
are located exclusively on autosomes
What is the role of X-gal? What color will cells with the plasmid be in the absence of X-gal? Why?

T: BIarrow_forwardPinpointing a disease gene requires a combination of approaches. Mutations in the XIAP gene are known to cause a serious condition called X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLPD). In the case of XLPD, in which the blood contains too many lymphocytes (white blood cells of the immune system), crowding out the oxygen-carrying red blood cells and damaging the liver. When compairing the XIAP amino acid sequence of one affected patient to other human and animal standard RefSeq, the patient has an amino acid substitution at position 203, from cystenine (C) to tyrosing (Y). This evolutionary conservation suggests Group of answer choices that the standard RefSeq does not provide enough information to determine a possible cause of XIAP function. mutations in the XIAP gene and XLPD are not associated. that the mutation in the affected patient has no impact on XIAP function. that the mutation in the affected patient might alter XIAP function.arrow_forward
