Question
Chapter 23, Problem 16PS
Summary Introduction
To propose: A hypothesis to determine the kind of inherited mutation in person M who produced more red blood cells than the average human.
Concept introduction:
The increased number of red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is known as erythrocytosis. The main function of RBCs is to transport oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body. Erythrocytosis is usually triggered by a genetic mutation erythropoietin in the bone marrow that directs the production of RBCs.

Suppose that you could undergo genetic testing at age 18 for susceptibility to a genetic disease that would not appear until middle age and has no available treatment. a. What would be some of the possible reasons for having such a genetic test and some of the possible reasons for not having the test? b. Would you personally want to be tested? Explain your reasoning.
Using hemophilia as an example, discuss how mutations, genetics, and history interact in real-life situations. Describe the genetics of hemophilia, how it is passed down, and how it may have contributed to events that led to the Cold War. This will require some research into the royal families of Europe in the late 19th/earth 20th centuries.

- In Avery et al.’s experiments, they used a general proteinase that can break down many types of protein, rather than a protein-degrading enzyme that broke down only one type of protein. Why was this still not sufficient to show that protein was not the genetic material?arrow_forwardThe Figueroa family has a genetically inherited trait called ocular albinism-lack of pigment in the eye-which is caused by a 516-bp deletion in an exon of a single gene. DNA for this gene was amplified from each member of the family and run on the gel shown below. The thickness of the band indicates relative amount of DNA. Use the pedigree and the gel to determine the most likely mode of inheritance for this disease.

- Determine which statements could be used as evidence to support the argument that "DNA influences the proteins that are made" and which statements are just facts. [Select all that apply.] The HBB gene that makes beta-globin has several abnormal alleles, including HbS, HbC, and HbE. Sickle cell disease has been successfully treated using bone marrow transplantation in children and adults. The symptoms of sickle cell anemia may not appear in individuals who only carry one HbS allele, but are always apparent when both alleles are HbS. If oxygen is removed from red blood cells made by two HbS alleles, the cell will form a sickle shape.arrow_forwardIn an epic battle, the Green Goblin was able to wound Spider-Man and collect a sample of his cells. Utilizing a HuMouse model organism, the Goblin got the mutated chromosomes into the animals and began breeding them to determine the basis of their chromosomal inheritance. In the process of conducting his research, he discovered the gene associated with spider-like powers are actually three distinct genes: one for spider sense; one for super strength; one for enhanced agility. All genes appear to be dominant, so the Goblin runs a test cross and gets the following results: Phenotype Agility Number of Progeny 94 Agility and Sense 3 All 3 Powers 580 Sense 40 Strength and Agility Strength and Sense Strength 45 89 5 No Powers 592 What is the map distance between Strength and Agility genes?
