(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the individual sequencing that identifies mutation associated with Alzheimer’s is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.

Introduction: Gene tests are utilized for adult, childhood, and prenatal prognosis and diagnosis of genetic diseases.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the ASO testing that identifies the carrier of mutant β-globin allele is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.

Introduction: ASO (allele-specific oligonucleotide) is single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) designed to hybridize to the complementary specific allele in genome.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the DNA sequencing of tumor that reveals BRCA1 gene mutation is a prognostic test or diagnostic.

Introduction: Genomics applies DNA sequencing methods, recombinant DNA, and bioinformatics to assemble, sequence, and analyze genomes.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether genetic testing in a healthy teenager that identifies SNP associated with autism is a prognostic test or diagnostic.

Introduction: Most genetic differences between human beings result from SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms and CNVs (copy number variations).

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a genetic test in an adult with Asperger syndrome that reveals an SNP in GABRB3 gene is a prognostic test or a diagnostic.

Introduction: SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) refers to a variation in single nucleotide pair, as detected during genomic analysis.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
