Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether XY individuals with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS) have an unfair advantage in competing with XX individuals in athletics or not.

Introduction: A disorder where the pathway from genetic sex to phenotypic sex is disrupted is known as complete androgen insensitivity. In this, a mutation in a gene called androgen receptor which is present on the X chromosome is observed. This mutation causes XY individuals to depict phenotypic characteristics of females because the fetal body of these individuals does not react to the male sex hormone called androgen which is responsible for developing male phenotypic characteristics.

Draw a rough sketch of the control and experimental data using a normal dose/response curve plot: i.e. % of total bound ligand vs. concentration. Indicate Kd and Bmax on this sketch. You don’t need to use exact numbers, but the relative proportions should be close
Name something that could be happening to glutamate transporters that could have this effect on glutamate transport (i.e. the difference in glutamate transporters between control and experimental conditions). (Bonus: if you can also guess what the experimental condition is).
a. For the control condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. b. For the control condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work.  c. For the experimental condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. For the experimental condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work.
