Suppose there were a genetic defect in the genes that code for kinesins and dyneins. What would happen within the cell? why?
The kinesin help in the transport of material from cell interior to the cell membrane and dynein transports material from cell exterior to the cell interior along the microtubule. Hence if there is a genetic defect in the kinesin and dynein then there will be no transport inside the cell along the microtubule and hence there will be no movement inside the cell.
If you have any query kindly comment before giving thumbs up. Thank you.

1. Is the decision to prevent or end a pregnancy that would otherwise lead to the birth of a child with a genetic defect - for example, Trisomy 21 - a eugenic measure? Explain your answer. 2. Do you think that the more widespread use of genetic testing and karyotyping will have an effect on allele frequencies and occurrence of certain diseases within the population? If so, what might be the impact on society as a whole? 3. Suppose we...
A gene is introduced into a fertilized egg cell to correct a genetic defect. This approach is best described as germline gene therapy somatic gene therapy adult stem cell therapy embryonic stem cell therapy Mouse coat color (white or brown) is determined by genes in the main genome. If a somatic nucleus from a white mouse skin cell was inserted into a brown mouse egg cell (with its nucleus removed), what color would you expect in the cloned mouse? black...
The probability of a randomly selected adult having a particular genetic defect is 0.02. Suppose that a diagnostic test is available and that the probability an adult who has the genetic defect tests positive is 0.97. There is a small probability, 0.01, that a person who does not have this genetic defect will test positive. What is the probability that a randomly selected adult does not have the genetic defect, given the test was positive?
232 trout in Center Hill Lake were tested for a particular genetic defect which causes the dorsal fin to be slightly bent. 13 of the trout caught were found to have this genetic defect Give the LOWER VALUE of a 97% confidence interval for the true proportion of trout that have this genetic defect. Please submit the answer with 4 decimal places.
Explain why two genes 50 or more map units apart on a genetic map can only result in a maximum of 50% recombinant gametes in two point cross. To answer this, ask yourself what percentage of recombinant gametes would result if the probability of crossing over in a tetrad involving these genes were 100%, as it would be if the two genes are 50 or more map units apart.
Question 36 The genetic code is a listing that gives the relationship between? O codons and amino acids O codons and anticodons codons and genes anticodons and genes Question 37 A human cell normally contains how many chromosomes?
QUESTION 32 The genetic code was deciphered in part by experiments in which synthetic polynucleotides were used as mRNAs to direct protein synthesis in cell-free extracts (in-vitro system). In the test tube, artificial conditions were used that allowed ribosomes to start protein synthesis anywhere on an RNA molecule, without the need of a translation start codon, as required in a living cell. What type(s) of polypeptides would you expect to be synthesized if the polynucleotide 5'- CAUCAUCAUCAUCAUCAUC...-3' were used as...
Genetic Code The genetic code is what allows the string of nucleotides in our DNA to code for the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins. Briefly explain what this genetic code is in general and how it works. What is meant by the universality of the genetic code? Explain briefly what the advantages and disadvantages of this type of genetic code are to humans. ANSWER MUST BE ORIGINAL AND NO PLAGIARISM
QUESTION 60 0.33334 points (E "Sickle cell anemia is produced by a genetic defect in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin. Persons who are homozygous for this allele have abnormal red blood cells, which characterize the disease. The blood cells of heterozygous persons appear normal and they are considered carriers. A test reveals that a man is heterozygous for the sickle cell allele but his wife is homozygous normal. What is the probability of their children will be carriers of...
