Unequal crossing over during Prophase I can result in one sister chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication. A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore, is known in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it was caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?
A) There should also be persons whose hemoglobin contains two copies of the series of amino acids that is deleted in hemoglobin Lepore.
B) Each of the genes in the hemoglobin gene family must show the same deletion.
C) The deleted gene must have undergone exon shuffling.
D) The deleted region must be located in a different area of the individual's genome.
Answer:
A) There should also be persons whose hemoglobin contains two copies of the series of amino acids that is deleted in hemoglobin Lepore.
Explanation:
The process of crossing over generates recombinant chromatids that carry the exchanged genetic segments. In case of unequal crossing over, a part of the genetic segment is missing from one recombinant chromatid of a homologous chromosome and is inserted into the recombinant chromatid of the corresponding homologous chromosome. The gamete that obtains the chromosome with an additional genetic segment would give rise to a person carrying the duplicated amino acids that are otherwise missing from the chromosome of the person expressing hemoglobin Lepore.
The given statement is True.
Sea corals are found deep inside the sea and oceans. They can survive in the shallow water. Deep sea corals can be found in groups or else can be found individually in water. They belong to phylum cnidaria and they live for thousands of years. They are found deep inside and if not disturbed in their habitat they can live long.
That is false. Ecology is the study of relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Cell biology is the study of cells and their functions.

Answer:
Explanation:
A. The bacteria DNA will contain most of the radioactivity. The reason is that the DNA is made up of a sugar phosphate backbone which forms its structural framework. One grinding up the bacteria, the radioactive phosphate will likely react with the DNA.
B. In the second instance, the proteins will contain the radioactivity this is because, the DNA does not have any reaction with sulphur, on the other hand, proteins contain about 3 - 6% sulphur.
