  • One gene on one chromosome is next to another gene that controls a different characteristic. This indicates that genes are <u>strongly linked</u>.  When the genes are very close on the same chromosome, they are said to be linked. This means that the alleles, or the gene versions, put together in a chromosome will be more often inherited as a unit than separately.
  • The first gene contributes to the expression of the second gene. This indicates <u>non-epistatic gene interaction </u>. We say that gene interaction is non-epistatic when two or more genes interact, but no allele prevents the expression of another, but the first gene contributes to the expression of the second gene.

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,

SCA is a common monogenic blood disorder with potentially devastating consequences due to chronic and episodic disease; it has a massive impact on the health-care system and is linked to a significant reduction in life span.

We show that gene therapy with a lentivirus vector expressing γ-globin has the potential for a one-time cure and define the parameters required to cure the disease. We also show a preclinical in vivo method for determining the minimal amount of genetically corrected hematopoietic stem cells needed to correct disease, which is important in the design of clinical gene therapy trials.

The expression of the γ-globin gene in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) results in enough postnatal fetal hemoglobin (HbF) to correct sickle cell anemia (SCA) in the Berkeley "humanized" sickle mouse. We assessed critical parameters for correction after de-escalating the number of transduced HSCs in transplant recipients using reduced-intensity conditioning and varying gene transfer efficiency and vector copy number.

The minimal amount of HbF, F cells, HbF/F-cell, and gene-modified HSCs required for correcting the sickle phenotype was determined using a systematic quantification of functional and hematologic red blood cell (RBC) indices, organ pathology, and life span.

The specialization of the pharyngeal jaws of cichlids for different diets represents a trade-off in function because ___________
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  the more specialized pharyngeal jaws are for one diet, the less adapted they are for the ingestion of other foods

Explanation:

Pharyngeal jaws are also called throat jaws and are specific for the prey. These jaws have strong muscles and plastic or easy-to-modify teeth. If an organism has pharyngeal jaws specialized for a specific diet or prey it will have lesser chances to adapted well according to the new diet. For instance, pharyngeal jaws highly specialized for scale eating will not be able to adapt well if the fish ingests algae.
