Change each of the following statements to make them plausib

Change each of the following statements to make them plausible. a) The gene JKL spans chromosomes 18 and 19. b) All of the genes on chromosome 4 are on the top (or +) strand of DNA. c) Chromosome 19 has 100 times as many genes as chromosome 7. Agree or disagree with the following statement. Explain your stance. In protein-coding genes, only introns and exons are transcribed into RNA. In gene ABC, a mutation occurs that destroys the start codon. a) How is the transcription of ABC affected (if at all)? b) How is the splicing of ABC affected (if at all)? c) How is the translation of ABC affected (if at all)? d) How is the cellular function of ABC affected (if at all)?

Solution

14.

a. The gene JKL is present either in chromosomes 18 or 19.

b. all the genes on chromosome 4 are dominant or +.

c. chromosome 19 spans millions of genes compared to chromosome 7.
