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.
Answer:
a. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) bind to complementary sequences in mRNA and block its translation.
b. Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs) reestablish appropriate methylation patterns in the genome during gamete formation.
Explanation:
MicroRNAs
These are the small non-coding RNA molecule. These RNA consist of about 22 nucleotides. MicroRNAs are found in animals, plants and some viruses,
MiRNAs function
MicroRNAs also represented as miRNA function through base-pairing with complementary sequences of mRNA molecules. Due to this base pairing it functions as RNA silencing and regulation of gene expression.
Piwi-interacting RNA
piRNA expressed in animal cell. piRNA are the small non-coding RNA molecules which form RNA-protein complexes.
Piwi-interacting RNA Function:
Function of these complexes are epigenetic and post-transcriptional silencing of transposons.
Small interfering RNA :
siRNA molecules are the small pieces of double-stranded (ds) RNA. There length is about 21 nucleotides long. siRNA have 3' (3 prime) overhangs
Small interfering RNA Function:
siRNA overhangs are used to "interfere" protein translation. They perform this function by binding and degradation of mRNA at specific sequences
Terminator technology proposed methods for restricting the use of genetically modified plants by activating some genes only in response to certain stimuli, especially to cause second generation seeds to be infertile
