THE QUESTIONS I-VII REFER TO THE FOLLOWING INFO: After extended space travel, a new phenomenon appeared: more and more men and women were able to perceive ultraviolet (UV) radiation as a new color. No adverse effects were noted. Extended investigation discovered a mutation on X chromosome in an uncoded area that produced a new Recessive gene (named UV 223). A young female discovered that even though she doesn’t see UV radiation as a color, she is a carrier of the UV 223. To maximize the chances of her children to see the new ccolor, she looked for men who also have the gene. And she found one who had it. Based on classical (mendellan) transmission of the gene, answer the following questions about the possible children of this family. (¼ = 25%, ½ = 50%, ¾ = 75%, 4/4 = 100%) QUESTION 1: The probability of a girl to inherit the gene is: i. 0% (none) ii. 50% iii. 100% (All) iv. 25% 2.

QUESTIONS IV-VIII ARE A CONTINUATION OF THE ABOVE SETUP, WITH THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL INFO: During a detailed consult it was revealed that due to a severe gastric ulcer the young man is following a strong antacid treatment for more than an year which altered his methylation processes and lead to imprinting of the area of UV223. Think about this new context, reecalculate the above probabilities in case they have changed, and answer the following questions based on all the information presented. QUESTION 4: Does imprinting affect the expression fo the UV 2233 genes? i. Yes ii. No, because imprinting it’s possible only during intrauterine growth iii. No, because there are no epigenetic factors connecting methylation to imprinting iv. There is no genetic imprinting in humans v. No, because only females can suffer from it vi. No, because imprinting changes the color of banding of the chromosome. 5. QUESTION 5: The probability of a girl to see UV as a color is: i. 0% (none) ii. 75% iii. 100% (all) iv. 50% v. 25% 6. QUESTION 6: The probability of a girl to inherit the UV223 gene is: i. 50% ii. 0% (none) iii. 25% iv. 75% v. 100% (All) 7. QUESTION 7: The probability of a boy to inherit the gene (and see the new color) is: i. 0% (None) ii. 25% iii. 100% (All) iv. 75% v. 50% 8.
