1. If a consumer version of the gene database was created, what additional features would it need to be user-friendly?
2. Do either of your diseases in part A (sickle cell anemia and down syndrome) have the same pattern of inheritance as the model of the colorblindness mutation? How do you know?
3. Do you think the genetic disorders you identified in part A or B (sickle cell anemia and down syndrome) would appear in a person’s DNA fingerprinting profile? Explain your reasoning.
4. In part A, you analyzed genes that contribute to two diseases (sickle cell anemia and down syndrome). How can scientists use this information to develop new treatments for these diseases? Based on your findings, do you think that scientists will need to develop multiple treatments to control symptoms of these diseases? Explain your reasoning.

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

Environmental impacts on evolution : mastery test

The mammal pictured below is a silvery mole rat. which statement is an inference based on the picture? the animal is ugly. the animal has hairless feet with sharp claws. the animal has prominent upper and lower incisor teeth. the animal likely has poor vision since its eyes are so small.
