Chapter 21, Problem 23P
Summary Introduction

a.

To explain:

Whether the information obtained from a personal genomic service tells about if anyone has any Mendelian diseases or not.

Introduction:

Mendelian traits are controlled by only one locus. Genes at these loci are passed on from one generation to the next during sexual reproduction. Expression of these genes depends on whether the trait is a recessive trait or a dominant trait.

Summary Introduction

b.

To explain:

Whether information obtained from a personal genomics service tell about the likelihood of one having a complex trait disease or not.

Introduction:

With the development of molecular and cellular techniques, many companies have come up with the services of personalized genomics. These companies study the genome of an individual or a patient and tell about the chances of developing a particular disease in the person.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The possible cause for the difference in estimations made by three different companies for the same DNA samples.

Introduction:

Complex genetic traits do not follow the pattern of Mendelian inheritance. These traits are most likely derived from the effect of multiple traits. A large variation of phenotype can be seen for the complex traits.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

Whether newer scientific developments would help in resolving the current problems.

Introduction:

Improvement of scientific tools and techniques has improved the quality of different scientific studies. More easy and reliable techniques are being developed in every scientific and technological domain by using scientific methods.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity? Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body? What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach),…
