Sickle cell anemia is caused by a single point mutation, in one of the exons that codes for the synthesis of β-globin. The pictu

re below shows the DdeI restriction sites in the normal and sickle cell alleles of the β-globin gene. Notice that the mutation that causes sickle cell eliminates the second DdeI site. On the gel provide below draw what the restriction fragments would look like for an individual that is homozygous for the normal allele (AA), for an individual that is a heterozygous carrier (AS), and for an individual with sickle cell disease (SS). How many bands would appear on the gel of the heterozygote?

Answer:

Note the fragments from DdeI restriction –

I. AA individuals have two copies of normal b-globin allele.

           b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 176 bp + 201 bp + 600 bp

Since there are two copies of b-globin allele, the restriction of AA genome would produce 2 copies each of 176 bp, 201 bp and 600 bp fragments.

II. AS individuals have one normal and one mutated copy b-globin allele. So, following fragments would be obtained -

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 176 bp + 201 bp + 600 bp          

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 376 bp + 600 bp

So, for such genotype, four fragments of MW as shown above would be produced.

III. SS individuals have two mutated copy b-globin allele. So, following fragments would be obtained -

b-globin allele ----DdeI-----------> 376 bp + 600 bp

So, for such genotype, two copies each of the fragments of MW as shown above would be produced.

Answer:

The correct answer is: major depressive disorder.

Explanation:

Major depressive disorder, commonly known as depression, is a mental condition that is characterized by <u>continuous internal pain, low mood, low self-esteem and loss of interest in activities that were enjoyable before</u>.

This disorder can be heavily discapacitating as it can interfere in normal life and work-life as well, while also producing abnormal eating and sleeping habits.

Connie has lost her husband a few months ago and she is not recovering from the pain that it caused her, which makes her deeply unhappy, not interested in anything and incapable of performing common tasks on her daily life. These are all symptoms of depression.
