o Search the internet to find examples of genes with pleiotropy, co-dominance and incomplete dominance in humans that aren’t given in the textbook for Bio 200/201. For each example, write a short paragraph that includes:
▪ What type of inheritance pattern the gene shows
▪ The possible PHENOTYPES and the genotypes that underlie them
▪ What effect the gene has on the overall function and health of the human body.

o There are a number of traits in humans that affect development, function or over-all health of the body, and show a classic Mendelian inheritance pattern.
o Search the internet to find an example of such a Mendelian trait and write a paragraph that includes:
Whether the trait is dominant or recessive
How common or rare the trait seems to be
What symptoms are caused by the trait and how it affects the overall function and health of the human body.
What treatment(s), if any, are available to individuals who possess the trait.

  1. Briefly explain why it was important for Frederick Griffith to use a IIIS strain in his experiments rather than a IIS strain and what result he was able to rule out as a possible explanation for the killing of the mouse after incubation of the heat killed IIIS strain with living IIR that he would not have been able to rule out if he used a IIS instead of IIIS.

1. The active site of an enzyme usually consists of a pocket on the enzyme surface lined with the amino acid side chains necessary to bind the substrate and catalyze its chemical transformation. Carboxypeptidase, which sequentially removes the carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues from its peptide substrates, consists of a single chain of 307 amino acids. The two essential catalytic groups in the active site are furnished by Arg145 and Glu270 .

a. How many amino acid residues apart are these two amino acids?

b. Explain how it is that these two amino acids, so distantly separated in the sequence, can catalyze a reaction occurring in the space of a few tenth of a nanometer?

c. If only these two catalytic groups are involved in the mechanism of hydrolysis, why is it necessary for the enzyme to contain such a large number of aa residues?

2. What level of protein structure would be disrupted by the following below

a. heat

b. strong acid

c. saturated salt solution

d. organic solvents such as alcohol and chloroform

Three plant genes, A, B, and C, are linked and occur in the following order. Genetic distances are given as map units (m.u.):

A________10 m.u.______B_____0 m.u.__C

The genes underlie the following phenotypes:

A/_ = blue flowers, a/a = white flowers

B/_ = tall stems, b/b = short stems

C/_ = green leaves, c/c = red leaves

You cross two individuals with the following genotypes:

AbC/AbC x aBc/aBc

You testcross the resulting F1. The proportion of offspring that will have blue flowers is _

Topic: Protein interaction and phase separation (Subject: Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics)

Please answer both Part A and B if possible, IF NOT PRIORITISE ON PART B

Consider the following scenario. A mutation in gene M was discovered to be a highly penetrant risk factor for disease P. There is no information on what the function of gene M is or what other proteins the gene product of M interacts with. All that is known is that M is abundantly and ubiquitously expressed in all cell types.

A. Describe in detail one (1) experimental approach that can be used for defining what proteins bind to gene product M and how the mutation alters the binding partners.

B. If purified gene product M were found to phase separate into droplets in a test tube, describe an experiment that that would distinguish whether the protein was in a liquid state or a glassy or fibrillar state.
