Explain why the gene for sickle cell anemia may be beneficial to humans at some point. Describe these conditions.
A genetic variant of the HBB gene results in sickle cell anemia, a disorder than primarily affects people of Sub-Saharan African descent, including many black Americans. Sickle cell anemia is named after the shape of the red blood cells in individuals with this disorder. The diseased genetic variant in the HBB gene results in a malformed hemoglobin protein, which is responsible for the shape of the red blood cell. Patients diagnosed with this disorder often exhibit a variety of symptoms, such as episodes of pain, swelling of hands and feet, delayed growth, and vision problems amongst others. The malformed hemoglobin protein is an example of the relationship between genes and traits at the: molecular level. population level. cellular level. organism level.
For the following diseases, describe the best technique for diagnosing them. Please make sure you include how you would tell someone with the disease from someone without the disease. B. Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is caused by a point mutation at position 1691 in exon 10 of the Factor V clotting factor gene that changes an arginine into a glutamine. This change removes one of the cleavage sites for activated protein C and leads to an increased tendency to clot.
A study is performed in persons with an immunodeficiency disease in which activation of macrophages and B cells by CD4 cells is ineffective. It is observed that all affected persons are males. Laboratory studies show an elevated serum IgM but decreased IgG and IgA. This disorder is most likely to be caused by a mutation in a gene encoding for which of the following? a.CD40 ligand b.Adenine deaminase c.Cytochrome b558 d.Complement C3
Hemoglobins from two individuals are compared by electrophoresis and by fingerprinting. Electrophoresis reveals no difference in migration, but fingerprinting shows an amino acid difference. How is this possible?
Fetal hemoglobin comprises of αγ sub-units. It has been found that the γ-chain contains serine at position 143 instead of Histidine 143 normally found in the β-chain. The amino acid 143 lines the DPG binding site. This mutation in the γ chain results in a) Increased Oxygen binding in the fetus. b) Increased efficiency of oxygen transport to the lungs in the fetus. c) Increased DPG binding in the fetal hemoglobin d) This is a silent mutation, i.e. no change should be observed.
This picture shows normal blood cells, which are round, and sickle cells, which appear much longer. People with sickle cells suffer from sickle cell anemia, which is an inherited disease. It is caused by a change in a gene responsible for production of hemoglobin. This type of change is known as a(n) es 41) A) cancer. B) genotype. mutation. D) acquired characteristic.
