Document Summary

Genes and spacer dna: the genome consists of protein coding regions, utrs, introns, and spacer dna, for diagnostic, forensic, mapping, etc, all parts of the genome are equally useful, locus: a location on a chromosome. Terms: polymorphic: any locus with more than one normal allele, applied earlier to genes: i gene in humans (ia, ib, i alleles). Types of polymorphisms: snps, i(cid:374)gle (cid:374)u(cid:272)leotide pol(cid:455)(cid:373)orphis(cid:373) (cid:894) np(cid:895) (cid:894)pro(cid:374)ou(cid:374)(cid:272)ed (cid:862)s(cid:374)ip(cid:863)(cid:895): (cid:1005)- nucleotide substitution between genomes. Conclusion: g a mutation is specific to the human lineage: locus 2: one human shares a snp with a chimp. Conclusion: c allele is ancestral, in primate ancestors of both human and chimp. Sequences with variable number of copies between genomes. Similar to ssrs, but longer: arbitrary distinction, ssrs: repeat is 1-10 bp. 2: cnvs: repeats is >10 bp, cnvs can include whole genes. Amylase genes and color-receptor genes: mechanisms of cnv: unequal crossing over between identical sequences.

I PCR out a mutated gene in apatient with Lisenbee chorea (the inability to dance in acoordinated fashion) and I compare it to another patient with thatsame disease phenotype. One subject had a mutation on chromosome 4,and the other subject couldn't rock it because of a mutation onchromosome 5. This is an exampe of

Answer

· locus heterogeneity

· allelic heterogeneity

· dominant negative mutation

· penetrance

In his experiments, Mendelnoted that when two traits are involved in a genetic cross, theyare inherited independently of each other. Though Mendel didn'tknow about chromosomes, this still holds true (mostly)because

Answer

· genes on the same chromosome are often mixedthrough meiotic crossover during the formation ofgametes.

· variant alleles of the same gene do not interferewith the phenotypic expression of the gentoype in different geneticloci.

· most higher organisms are diploid, making only twoalleles available for every genetic locus, and there is a 50/50chance of geting either allele from a single parent.

· expression of phenotypes can vary from thegenotypes because of encironmantal influences.

· chromosomes often recombine

Anticipation is caused by amutation that increases in expressivity over subsequentgenerations.

Answer

· True

· False

Question

A couple goes on MauryPovitch, and the results are in: you are not the father. But noother man impregnated the female (granted, unlikely for a MauryPovitch guest, but work with me here) and he must be the father.DNA analysis claims otherwise, though the child definitely wasmom's (poor thing). What may be going on here?

Answer

· the child is parthenogenic because the motheractually impregnated herself like a shark, and the child's DNA isall mom's

· the child had a mutation that changed the genethat is used to trace paternity

· the child is a mosaic because he is actually a setof twins fused early during fetal development, and therefore camefrom 2 eggs and 2 sperm

· the dad may have germ-line mosaicism, meaning thatthe genotype of his sperm is different from his somaticgenotype

· mitochondrial DNA only comes from mom, so there isno way to tell whobthe baby's father is
