Mic2 is a gene present on both the X and Y chromosome of humans. Suppose a mutant form, mic2, results in an abnormal surface antigen. Assume that it is possible to identify heterozygous and homozygous individuals. If you had a large enough pedigree, could one differentiate between autosomal and pseudoautosomal inheritance? Explain.

1. In humans, X and Y chromosomes are technically not homolous Explain how X and Y chromosomes pair up in cells of males prior to cell division 2. Familial breast cancer is caused by mutations in the BRCA1 gene which is located on human chromosome 17. Females with a mutation in BRCA1 gene have an 80% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Therefore, out of 100 women who carry the disease-causing mutation, only 80 will develop breast cancer. Why is...

Mendelian Genetics The gene involved in the disease Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is on human chromosome 11. Allele “A” is the normal form of the gene and codes for a part of the protein complex called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is required for your blood cells to carry oxygen. Allele “a” is an abnormal form of the gene. The hemoglobin protein made from the “a” allele is defective. Red blood cells containing the defective protein are very fragile. This disease is recessive–meaning...

Uption 4. The inheritance of hair and eye color is very complicated. Scientists have found approximately 10-20 genes responsible for determining hair and eye color in humans (sheesh - I thought a dihybrid cross with 2 genes was bad...). Although many genes are involved in producing these phenotypes, it does seem that just a few genes play a major role in determining the color of our hair and eyes. The following is a simplified, but still somewhat realistic view of...

An enzyme, encoded by gene A, converts substrate X into product Y. Individuals with a dominant mutation in gene A over accumulate substrate X, which causes severe neurological symptoms. At the molecular level, this enzyme functions as a homodimer. A homodimer is a protein composed of two subunits that are encoded by the same gene. Let’s suppose you are able to purify subunits from cell samples and then mix them together under conditions in which they form homodimers, and you...

Since the 1980s, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) has been infecting humans around the world causing the condition known as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV, like all viruses, needs to enter cells and use their machinery to reproduce and spread. During HIV infection, the virus enters specific cells of the immune system (T-cells) by "docking" onto cell surface proteins, including one called CCR5 Genetic analysis of individuals who are naturally immune (resistant) to HIV have revealed that resistance to HIV...
