Questions 6: Gene Expression Regulation (9 pts) Heart defects from genetically inherited mutations affect about 1-2% of children and cause a significant number of stillbirths. They can also lead to heart disease in adults. Many genetically inherited heart defects are due to mutations in genes for transcription factors that control expression of genes that are required for normal heart development. For example, over 30 different mutations have been found in the gene for transcription factor Tbx5 in patients with genetically...

(6 pts) Several mutations of the lac operon have been identified. A bacterial mutant called OC (for constitutive operator) expresses the lac operon even when lactose is present, hence the name constitutive operator. What kind of mutation in the operator sequence could lead to a constitutive operator? Another mutant strain of bacteria called Is (for super repressor) leads to repression of the lac operon regardless of the presence or absence of lactose. What kind of mutation in the repressor protein...

1. Predict the effects of the following mutations on the ability of a cell to undergo apoptosis: (i) Mutation in Bad such that it cannot be phosphorylated by protein kinase B (PKB) (ii) Overexpression of Bcl-2 (iii) Mutation in Bax such that it cannot form homodimers. 2. One common characteristic of cancer cells is a loss of function in the apoptotic pathway. Which of the mutations listed above might you expect to find in some cancer cells?

6. For each of the scenarios below, identify the sampling blunder, speculate about the influence of the bias, and then make a recommendation for ridding the study of the biasing influence. a. A researcher wanted to know how people in the local community felt about the use of high-stakes testing in the public schools. The researcher spent the afternoon at Wal-Mart and randomly approached 100 shoppers to ask their opinion (they all agreed to cooperate). Random selection was accomplished with...
