In one study, 108 regions of the genome were identified to be significantly associated with schizophrenia. Below is a Manhattan

plot showing the results from this study. Assuming that none of the causative variants are linked and there is a single causative variant per peak region, how many regions of chromosome 6 with causative variants were identified in this study

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part of the complete question

The top of the highest peak corresponds to a region of the genome called the MHC locus. This means that of all the variants identified by this study, ____________.

the variant in MHC is observed the most frequently in the affected cohort.  

the variant in MHC can cause schizophrenia in a Mendelian fashion.

the variant in MHC is the least likely to be a false positive result.

the variant in MHC has the largest odds ratio.

answer:

i) 4

ii) the variant in MHC is the least likely to be a false positive result. ( C )

Explanation:

The number of regions of chromosome 6 with causative variants identified is 4

While the variant in MHC is the least likely to be a false positive result. this is because, it is the highest peak in of all the causative variants identified in this study (i.e. closely related to the disease)  and been the highest peak will make it least likely to return a false positive result.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Contains large polytene chromosome that permit visual inspection of genomic events.

Were used to study the genetic effects of mutations.

Were used to establish the concept of chromosomal inheritance.

Explanation:

<em>Drosophila melanogaster </em>is a model organism that is used by scientists to study the genes and effect of a mutation on the genes. Drosophila is used as a model organism as it has a very short life cycle and the offspring can be produced in a short duration of time.

Because of these characteristics, Thomas Hunt Morgan wanted to study the factors of inheritance on the <em>Drosophila</em> and concluded in the form of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by the effect of mutation on genes that lead to linkage mapping.

Also, the salivary gland of fruit fly contains the polytene chromosome which allows us to look into the gene events.

Thus, the selected options are correct.
