Chapter 22, Problem 44P
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The functions of estrogen.
Introduction:
Estrogen is referred as the primary sex hormone in females. It controls the development and functioning of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics in females. There are three main endogenous estrogens:estriol, estradiol, and estrone. Estradiol is the most important among these estrogens.

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
