A complex biochemical pathway is shown below, along with the alleles that either promote or
inhibit each step of the pathway leading to a phenotype. Gene A has alleles A and a, B has alleles
B and b, and so forth. Genes B and C are duplicate dominant epistatic lethal as heterozygotes
(i.e. Bb Cc are lethal). Genes D and E are duplicate dominant epistatic (i.e. dd eg = desired
phenotype). If I were to cross AA Bb cc Dd Ee with aa BB Cc Dd e,

- When performing QPCR to study differential gene expression, what is the role of SYBR green? What is the most correct answer? SYBRgreen intercalates proportionally and efficiently with double stranded DNA and can therefore be used to quantify it SYBRgreen intercalates proportionally and efficiently with nucleic acids and can therefore be used to quantify them. SYBRgreen intercalates more efficiently and proportionately with single stranded DNA and can therefore be used to quantify cDNA (a direct product of mRNA). SYBRgreen intercalates proportionally efficiently with messenger RNA and can therefore be used to quantify it.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about qPCR is true? a. The Ct value is generally directly proportional to the level of gene expression b.The intensity of fluorescence signal is generally inversely proportional to the level of gene expression c.The Ct value is generally inversely proportional to the level of gene expression d.The intensity of fluorescence signal is generally directly proportional to the level of gene expressionarrow_forwardillustrate several applications of the chi-square test pertinent to genetics.arrow_forward
- Microarrays can be used to determine relative levels of gene expression. In one type of microarray, hybridization of red (experimental) and green (control) labeled cDNAs is proportional to the relative amounts of mRNA in the samples. Red indicates the overexpression of a gene and green indicates the underexpression of a gene in the experimental cells relative to the control cells, yellow indicates equal expression in experimental and control cells, and no color indicates no expression in either experimental or control cells.arrow_forwardMicroarrays can be used to determine relative levels of gene expression.

Red indicates the overexpression of a gene and green indicates the underexpression of a gene in the experimental cells relative to the control cells, yellow indicates equal expression in experimental and control cells, and no color indicates no expression in either experimental or control cells.In one experiment, mRNA from a strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (experimental cells) is converted into cDNA and labeled with red fluorescent nucleotides; mRNA from a nonresistant strain of the same bacteria (control cells) is converted into cDNA and labeled with green fluorescent nucleotides. The cDNAs from the resistant and nonresistant cells are mixed and hybridized to a chip containing spots of DNA from genes 1 through 25.

" Interpreting the results of an RNA-Seq analysis is pivotal in understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms of diseases such as breast cancer. In this analysis, Figure 1 provides comprehensive data on differentially expressed genes associated with breast cancer. By delving into the provided information, we can gain valuable insights into the molecular landscape of this disease. First focus is on the gene with the highest fold change, EYA4, situated on chromosome 6. With a staggering fold change of 3604.4176, EYA4 exhibits an unprecedented level of overexpression in cancerous cells compared to normal cells. This profound alteration suggests a pivotal role for EYA4 in breast cancer pathogenesis. The log2 fold change of 11.81555 further emphasizes the magnitude of this difference in gene expression. Statistical significance is evident, with an exceptionally low p-value of…arrow_forward
