The gene “C” codes for the membrane-associated protein C, responsible for signal transduction. A mutant allele of this gene, Cm, encodes a malfunctioning C protein, which has the same size as the wild type and associates with the plasma membrane like the wild type, but it has no function in signal. With respect to the expression of the C proteins, the wild-type allele is: A. codominant to the Cm allele. B. dominant to the Cm allele. C. haploinsufficient. D. incompletely dominant to the Cm allele.
Homework Answers
Answer is B.
Explanation:
It is given that wild type allele encodes the signalling in the cell but the mutant allele don't encode any signalling in the cell. This suggests that the wild type allele (C) is dominant to the mutant allele (Cm).

Help with both please!
10. In a wild-type diploid fungus, protein E (encoded by the haplosufficient gene “E”') normally homodimerizes, and the E-E dimer catalyzes a biochemical reaction necessary for the production of a dark pigment. E represents a mutant, dominant negative allele of gene E. What is the predicted phenotype of a fungus cell of genotype ET/E”, and why? A) mutant (no pigment production), as E is haplosufficient B) mutant (no pigment production), as no E-E dimers will form...

In zebrafish, the half baked (hab) gene is caused by a mutation in E-cadherin. A new allele of this gene, k51, has a wild-type phenotype as a heterozygote, and a strong lethal phenotype as a homozygote. However, k51/deletion has a slightly more dramatic phenotype than k51/k51. This test tells us that the new allele is: O a null allele O codominant. O dominant lethal. O temperature sensitive. O haploinsufficient. O a leaky allele O incompletely dominant. O dominant negative. O...

Heterozygotes for a loss of expression allele of the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene can develop Rett syndrome, which affects about one in ten thousand people. Select all of the following that accurately describe the Rett associated allele of MECP2. Group of answer choices dominant negative wildtype at organismal level dominant gain-of-function mutant at molecular level not wildtype at organismal level dominant loss-of-function wildtype at molecular level dominant haploinsufficiency recessive loss of function

In a wild-type carnivorous plant, protein X is encoded by a haplosufficient gene “X”. The X protein normally homodimerizes. The X-X dimer enzymatically catalyzes a biochemical reaction that is critical for the digestion of insects that it traps. XD represents a dominant negative allele, a mutation, of gene X. What would be the predicted phenotype of a plant with the genotype X+/XD ? Which one of these pieces of information allows you to reach that conclusion? a. The plant would...

ACTN3 is a gene that encodes for alpha-actinin-3, a protein expressed only in type-Il muscle fibers. The R allele has been associated with high endurance and speed in athletes. However, not all individuals that have the R allele show the "fast" phenotype. Lets pretend that the Rallele is dominant, and there is another gene involved in mitochondria efficiency, the A allele codes for highly efficient mitochondria and the a allele codes for low efficient mitochondria. When mitochondria efficiency is low,...
