Which statement about single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is true? a. SNPs can change an exon to...
9. The genetic map shown here depicts the locations of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, designated a-e) on an autosome and the frequency of recombination in percent) between adjacent SNPs. The region includes a genetic risk factor Q for a disease, which may be located in region M, H, K, or L along the chromosome. 12 low We Third dition 2019 Macmilan Learning percent recombination a-Q equals 20% percent recombination b-Q equals 16% percent recombination c-Q equals 4% percent recombination d-Q...
Genome-wide associations studies (GWAS) are used to identify
genetic variants, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),
that are associated with specific disorders. GWAS analyses compare
the genomes of individuals with a disorder to those without the
disorder. Which of the following factors are critical to GWAS
design? Select all of the statements that apply.
Good quality control is essential for identifying SNPs associated with a specific disorder Replication of sampling and sample analysis are important for verifying SNP association with a...
Which of the following mutations would be most likely to have a harmful effect on an organism? (A) a deletion of three nucleotides near the middle of a gene (B) a single nucleotide deletion in the middle of an intron (C) a single nucleotide deletion near the end of the coding sequence (D) a single nucleotide insertion downstream of, and close to, the start of the coding sequence In this problem, why (c) cannot be the answer?? Single nucleotide deletion...
1. Which of the following mutations is the most likely to be neutral? A) A nonsense mutation in exon 5 of a gene with 39 exons. B) A splice site mutation in intron 3 of a gene with 8 introns and 9 exons. C) A single nucleotide insertion in exon 7 of a gene with 18 exons. D) A thee nucleotide deletion in exon 1 of a gene with 7 exons.
why is E the answer
Below is the genomic DNA of gene X, a 3 exon gene that encodes a 131 amino acid single pass transmembrane protein. Shown are the transcriptional start site, splice donor, acceptor and branch sites and translational start and stop codons. Transcriptional start EXON 1 INTRON 1 EXON 2 INTRON 2 EXON 3 Spfice Donor Splice Acceptor Polyadenylation signal Branch point 17. Treatment with ethidium bromide, an intercalating agent, caused DNA polymerase to add an extra...

Which statement is not true (meaning False) about the virus capsid? Select one: O a. Because the capsid is not essential to the virus, it's not a useful target for antiviral drugs. b. The capsid is made of one or more types of protein subunits. O c. The capsid determines the shape of the virus. O d. The capsid functions as a package for the viral genetic material. O e. Both bacteriophage and animal viruses have capsids....
As it relates to single nucleotide polymorphism, where is the most likely location to find an SNP that does not impact protein function? Choose one: O A. within a splice site junction O B. within the middle of an intron O C. within the middle of an exon O D. within the stop codon
1) When comparing the genome of a prototypic bacterium such as E.coli, and the genome of a human, which of the following statements is true? a. The genome of E.coli is a single, circular, double stranded piece of DNA; the human genome is comprised of several linear chromosomes b. The genome size of E.coli is approximately 4.5 x 106 base pairs; the size of the human genome is approximately 3.2 x 109 base pairs c. The genome size of E.coli...
Which of the following statements about splicing is false? A. a single gene can code for many types of protein due to alternative splicing B. The 5' and 3' regions of the intron are highly variable in sequence C. the spliceosome is found in the nucleus of the cell D. The mRNA is composed of exons; introns are spliced out
Alternative splicing is present in about 90% of human genes and can explain why our 20,325 genes can encode more than 1,000,000 proteins. Examine the image below of Gene X: Exon A Intron #1 Exon B Intron #2 Exon C 1. (2 pts) To create a transcript, which portions of this DNA sequence would be REMOVED during splicing? (Please be specific-ie. Exon A, Intron #2, etc.) 2. (3 pts) Gene X can encode 7 different proteins! Explain how this is...
