What do we call the phenomenon where the expression of one gene or two genes can then affect the expression of another gene? Why is this concept so powerful in terms of genetic expression in multicellular organisms?
Homework Answers
The phenomenon where the expression of one gene or two genes can then affect the expression of another gene is called Epistasis.
This is important in terms of gene expression in multicellular organisms having signal transduction. Signal transduction is a series of events that involves the action of numerous proteins/biomolecules leading to the expression of a certain gene, if some gene encoding for a protein in the signal transduction is missing then the required gene cannot be transcribed.

How do transcription factors affect gene expression? a.) They are molecules that can turn genes on or off. b.) They are mRNAs that contain extra information that is not part of the DNA genome. c.)They modify the chromosome structure to create mutations. d.) They are signals that tell cells whether to divide or not.

In rabbits, one enzyme (the product of a functional gene A) is needed to produce a substance required for hearing. Another enzyme (the product of a functional gene B) is needed to produce another substance required for hearing. The genes responsible for the two enzymes are not linked. Individuals homozygous for either one or both of the nonfunctional recessive alleles, a or b, are deaf. If two rabbits (both heterozygous for both genes are mated), what phenotypes and what phenotypic...

Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and microarrays can be used to analyze gene expression. A lab studies yeast cells, comparing their growth in two different sugars, glucose and galactose. One student is comparing expression of the gene HMG2 under these two conditions. Which technique(s) could he use and why? Another student wants to compare expression of all the genes on chromosome 4, of which there are approximately 800. What technique(s) could she use and why?

Two genes, A and B, are 64 cM apart on a chromosome. How can we measure the genetic distance between A and B? In a test cross between a double heterozygote and a homozygous recessive individual, we should observe 64% recombinant progeny If gene C lies between A and B, we can measure the recombination rate between A-C and C-B. Both of the above will work There is no way to measure genetic distance greater than 50 cM. I know...

1 What is an imprinted gene? Select one: a. A gene that is found on a Barr body b. A gene that is silenced upon inheritance from a designated parent c. A gene that is inherited from only one parent d. A gene that is encoded on only one of the two copies of a chromosome Question 2 Which of the following is NOT a typical characteristic of cancer? Select one: a. Malignant cancers are typically not able to metastasize...

It is possible that tagging genes can alter their function. If the gene is essential for are essential for correct meiosis, the tagged gene (with altered function) will be homozygous lethal. Since it is homozygous lethal, we will have to maintain it as a heterozygote. Assuming we start with a plate that is 100% heterozygous, what proportion of the worms would have the tagged genes after one generation? After two generations? After 3 generations? (Assume generations are synchronous and do...

Which of the following are true of modifying and epistatic genes in regard to genetic diseases? (1) Modifying genes can account for the severity of a genetic disease Modifying genes do not completely mask genes for a genetic disease. Epistatic genes may cause a disease by masking normal genes. The expression of modifying genes can be affected by environmental factors.

What is the relationship between protein translation and gene expression? Would you expect to always see correlation between these two? Discuss a circumstance within the context of cancer where mRNA and protein expression may not correlate. Why is it important to look at both protein and RNA levels of a series of genes/proteins in a molecular pathway? Discuss this in the context of cancer associated pathways. Give a specific example of a pathway that is independent of gene expression in...
