What are mutations and their impact on a DNA sequence? What is methylation and how does it cause an effect on gene expression? Which of the following human genes has the longest stretch of DNA (~24Mb): 1) globin gene 2) histone gene 3) dystrophin gene 4) tRNA gene ...
Which of the following pathology terms is defined as an inherited disorder transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait that causes an abnormality of the globin genes in hemoglobin? |A. amyloidosis|B. autoimmune hemolytic anemia|C. Gaucher's disease|D. hem...
It is a complex heterogeneous disease, caused by an unknown number of interacting genes with critical environmental factors. Genetic factors contribute 30-60% of pre-disposition to asthma development [2]. It is likely that different asthma-related phenotypes are caused by different sets of genes; ...

Platelets are formed from what type of cell? 1. Melanocytes 2. Macrophages 3. Astrocytes 4. Megakaryocytes Sickle cell disease is due to a genetic defect in: a. heme portion of hemoglobin b. globin portion of hemoglobin c. absence of iron (Fe3+) in ...
Processes of de novo duplication of human alpha-globin genes. Finally, the high level of instability at the α-globin locus contrasts with the rarity in most populations of chromosomes carrying duplications or deletions... KWG Lam,AJ Jeffreys - 《Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of...

An allele isa variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. ... Genotypes are described as homozygous if there are two identical alleles at a particular locus and as heterozygous if the two...
Genes encode proteins that perform all sorts of functions for humans (and other living beings). The human gene HBA1, for example, contains instructions for building the protein alpha globin, which is a component of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in redbloodcells, according to theNLM. ...
Divided into two parts, this chapter first reviews current neo-Darwinian “tree of life” versus reticulate “web of life” polemics as they have been debated in high-profile academic journals, and secondly, the historical context of discovery of the various means whereby genes are transferred ...
