Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10TYU
MAKE CONNECTIONS Looking at Figure 20.15, what does it mean for a SNP to be "linked" to a disease-associated allele? How does this allow the SNP to be used as a genetic marker? (See Concept 15.3.)

Students have asked these similar questions
Select all that apply: A SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) is similar to an STR (short tandem repeat) in that:
a) an individual can have many different copies of specific SNP or STR
b) they both cause diseases
c)they are sequences that have many possible variants
d) an individual has one copy of this region of the genome from each parent.
In the experiment summarized below, scientists were examining the presence of specific sequences in individuals with age. In this experiment they extracted DNA from lymphocytes of various aged individuals and measured the length of a TTAGGG (in kb) repeat they found in their genomic DNA (Left Panel). In the right panel, the scientists measured the length of the same repeats in individuals with lymphocyte failure (red dots most severely effected) that have a mutation in a critical enzyme. Answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each.
A. What is the name of the specific sequence the scientists are measuring in the experiment shown below.
B. For the individuals with lymphocyte pathology in the right panel, which gene is likely defective that causes the data shown?
C. Explain why the length of the repeat sequence decreases with age.
fill in the blanks, the options are listed on the picture.

Effective control involves applications of chemical insecticides, increasing the cost of production and environmental pollution. The current genetically modified Bt crops have allowed great benefits to farmers but show activity limited to lepidopteran pests. This work reports on procedures adopted for integration and expression of a cry transgene conferring resistance to boll weevil and fall armyworm by using molecular tools. Four Brazilian cotton cultivars were microinjected with a minimal linear cassette generating 1248 putative lines. Complete gene integration was found in only one line (TO-34) containing one copy of crylla detected by Southern blot. Protein was expressed in high concentration at 45 davs after emergence (dae), decreasing by approximately 50% at 90 dae. Toxicity of the cry protein was demonstrated in feeding bioassays revealing 56.7% mortality to boll weevil fed buds and 88.1% mortality to fall armyworm fed leaves. A…arrow_forward

Vaccines can be made from a virus’s proteins or other parts, or from a virus that has been inactivated and is no longer harmful. Some vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, need to be modified every year to keep up with changes in the virus. Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 has a slower mutation rate than the influenza virus, which causes the flu. This means that mutations occur less frequently in SARS-CoV-2’s genome than in the influenza virus’s genome. Based on the information above, explain why it may be possible to develop a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine that would not have to be modified as often as the flu vaccine.arrow_forward
