Predict the different effects that an SNP would have if it were located in an exon, an intron, or an intragenic region.
The single nucleotide difference between the DNAs of different individuals is called SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphism). Most commonly, these variations are found in the DNA between genes. Now let us see what happens if SNPs are placed in different locations-
exon- exons are the coding sequences in the DNA which code for certain RNA or a protein. If SNP is placed here it may play a more direct role in the gene’s function, whether it can alter a normal function of that protein formed in the body or the difference which may cause a development of a disease. If a SNP occurs within a gene, then the gene is described as having more than one allele. In these cases, SNPs may lead to variations in the amino acid sequence.
Intron- these are the non-coding sequences in the DNA which were initially thought as "junk DNA" but now it has been made clear that these sequences play a very important role in the regulation of gene expression. If SNPs occurs here then it may create problems in the regulation of gene expression especially if it occurs in the main domain of gene control. This may lead to uncontrolled gene expression.
In between the genes- again if these regions are important for gene regulation then this may affect the gene expression and it may be uncontrolled but if SNPs occur at certain regions that are not necessary for gene regulation then certainly the SNPs would produce a silent effect.

Which of the following point mutations would have little or no effect on cellular function? Select all that apply. a. mutation from AUA to AUG b. mutation in exon c. mutation in intron d. mutation in regulatory region e. mutation from CUC to AUUU f. mutation from UUA to UUG (selected mutation in intron, mutation from UUA to UUG = 0.67/1 ) (selected mutation in intron, mutation from AUA to AUG = 0/1 )
Predict the effects on a patient if the levels of opsonin change o identify the cells that produce complement proteins o Indicate where complement proteins are located in a healthy person o Indicate the type of enzyme needed to activate complement proteins o Indicate the three different ways to activate complement system and the ultimate result of those pathways. (Is it different? Or the same?) o Draw a simple graph to demonstrate the difference in levels between C3, C3a and...
A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore occurs rarely in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it were caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence? The deleted gene must have undergone exon shuffling. The deleted region must be located in a different area of the individual's genome. Each of the genes in the hemoglobin gene family must show the same deletion. If it is still maintained in...
The atmospheric conditions in which photosynthesis occurred were different than they are today. Predict how plants might evolve under increasing CO2 concentrations and where each carbon cycle pathway would benefit the plant. (discuss, enzymatic challenges, change of atmospheric conditions and ecological aspects of photosynthesis)
Do different dosage levels of CAR-NK cells have different effects on treatment? Please explain.
would you predict that the organisms found in human skin will be similar or different than the organisms found in the environment. give two readons
If you were going to design an experiment on the effects of air pollution, how would you account for the effects that variations in health, gender, age, and ethnicity can cause? If you were going to measure whether two groups differ in a genetic predisposition to heart disease, stroke, or hypertension, how would you make sure that difference in air pollution levels experienced by the two groups didn't confound your results?
