A study is done on a group of families in Sweden that are segregating a genetic disorder. A statistical estimate of whether two

genes, or a gene and a disease gene, are likely to be located near each other on a chromosome (called Lod-score analysis) indicates that the gene involved in the disorder shows a strong likelihood of linkage with a particular DNA marker locus. However, a second study done in Italy with other families segregating the same genetic disorder results in lod-score values that strongly indicate the lack of linkage between the gene and the same DNA marker locus. Assuming that both studies were performed appropriately, what is the most likely explanation for the different outcomes

Answer:

This disorder is caused by mutations in either of two different genes; one of these genes is linked to the DNA marker locus and the other gene is not.

Explanation:

A gene marker (also known as a molecular marker) is defined as a particular DNA sequence that has a specific physical location on a given chromosome. The gene markers are always physically linked with genes of interest, thereby they are useful for identifying patients affected by a given disease and/or a particular phenotypic trait. In this case, in the first study, genetic variation of the marker has been shown to be useful to map one <em>locus</em> that is associated with the disease phenotype. However, in the second study, a second <em>locus</em> that is not linked to the marker can segregate independently, thereby showing different results from the first study (in this case, it is imperative to develop a new genetic linkage analysis to discover genetic markers linked to the second gene, which is also responsible for the disease phenotype).

If you centrifuge a cell lysate which of the following can be found in the pellet?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Homogenate

Explanation:

Cell lysis refer to the process that break down the cell membranes either by viral or osmotic mechanism. The fluid part of the lysised cells is called the cell lysate. It is use in the laboratories for protein analysis, lipids analysis, immuno assays, protein purifications e.t.c

If you centrifuge a cell lysate, homogenate can be found in the pellet because it is a constituents of cell fragments or slurry tissues which is as a result of the distribution of cell structures.

Assume that genes A and B are 50 map units apart on the same chromosome. An animal heterozygous at both loci is crossed with one
fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

The homozygous recessive individual can only produce 1 type of gamete (<em>aabb</em>).

The heterozygous individual can produce 8 types of gametes, of which 2 are parental and the rest are recombinant.

Genetic distance (m.u.) = Frequency of Recombination (%)

If the distance between genes A and B is 50 m.u., 50% of the gametes produced by the heterozygous individual, and therefore the offspring, will have recombinant phenotypes.

Without knowing that the genes are located on the same chromosomes, I'd think they are on different chromosomes, because you would get the same result: 50% recombinant offspring.

Whenever the genes on the same chromosome are separated by at least 50 m.u., or they are in different chromosomes, crossing over between them can happen with no restrictions and they will behave as independent of one another.
