What is a multigene family?
What processes produce multigene families?
a group of genes in one genome related by descent from a common ancestral gene.
gene duplication and divergence to produce different related products.

This figure shows the human beta-globin multigene family.
a.What is a pseudogene?
b. What is an Alu element?
c. Using the information in the diagram, explain how the globin
genes may have been duplicated.
d. Two other processes involved in the evolution of multigene
families are point mutation and exon shuffling. Briefly define each
process. Does the diagram give any evidence that either has
occurred in the evolution of the globin genes? Explain your
answer.

OLU Ucues Assignment 4c. In eukaryotes, genes are composed of exons and introns, with only exons included in the mRNA. Each gene also has its own adjacent promoter, to which the transcribing enzyme RNA polymerase binds. Related genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome as a “gene family." Answer each of the following questions in the answer box of the assignment. You may also write the answers directly into the assignment document and then upload your answers. Number...

thumbs up for good answer! please help with my genetics, thank

Complementation was ebierved for mutants 1 and 2, as well as for mutants 2 and 3 but mot between and 3. What can be concluded from the results? A-mutations 1 and 3 are on dferent genes B-all 3 mutations are in separate genes C-mutations 1 and 3...
If two distantly related organisms have regions of conserved
synteny, what does this mean?
If two distantly related organisms have regions of conserved synteny, what does this mean? Choose one: O A. The genes examined in the two species are present in the same order as in their most recent common ancestor. O B. The genes examined in the two species are nonhomologous to each other. O C. The genes examined in the two species are under the control of...
2 points (IV.C.2) You are working as a genetic counselor and after completing a family pedigree, you observe that eight of a couple's thirteen children have a disease. Some of the couple's grandchildren also have the disease. However, no grandchildren with two unaffected parents have the disease. What type of allele causes this disease? lethal O dominant Y chromosome о recessive (IV.C.1) You are studying two different genes; each gene is on its own chromosome. Gene H codes for height...
A cell's genome is its blueprint for life. However, what is the bare minimum number of genes needed to sustain a free-living cell? This is a question that microbiologists at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) have attempted to answer ever since they sequenced the genomes of several Mycoplasma species in the 1990s. Because Mycoplasma species are parasitic bacteria, their genomes are already reduced in size and hence provide an excellent foundation for creating a "minimal cell." However, little did...

INTRODUCTION
New mutations that arise on the X chromosome can have different
likelihoods of becoming fixed in the population than their
autosomal counterparts. This differential likelihood arises because
the effect of a recessive mutation on an autosome is only expressed
in homozygotes, whereas the effect of a similar recessive mutation
that arises on the X chromosome in a male is fully expressed. Thus,
advantageous recessive mutations are more likely to become fixed if
they are on the X chromosome than...
