Correct answer:

QTL: genes contributing to complex traits.

Explanation of Solution

QTL stands for Quantative Trait Loci. These are those segments of the DNA in which genes underlying a quantitative trait are considered. Hence, QTL relates to the genes that contribute towards different tratits.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

association mapping: takes advantage of recombination over the course of a population’s history.

Explanation of Solution

Mapping of loci contributing towards the quantitative trait is done by the method of association mapping. The process of association mapping takes advantage of linkage disequilibrium to link the phenotypes and the genotypes.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

MZ twins: identical

Explanation of Solution

An embryo developed by separation of a single zygote gives rise to monozygotic twins. These twins are identical to each other in all aspects, genetically as well as phenotypically.

Introduction:

Fertilization leads to the development of the zygote. When two different eggs and sperms are involved in the process, it results in the development of dizygotic twins.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

DZ twins: fraternal

Explanation of Solution

Fertilization of two different eggs with the help of two different sperms gives rise to dizygotic twins. These twins are not identical to each other. Dizygotic embryos get implanted in the uterus at the same time. They are also known as fraternal twins.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

linkage disequilibrium: blocks of association between variants at different loci

Explanation of Solution

Disequilibrium in the linkage and association of alleles at two or more loci are related to each other. It is the difference between the observed frequencies of a combination of two or more alleles that are present on different loci.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate. SHOW ALL WORK, including equation used, variables used and each step to your solution.
2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
