Understanding BRCA genes, related to human breast cancer.

Using the NCBI website resources find information related to BRCA genes, related to human breast cancers. Use "locus link" at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ (Tutorials are available if you get stuck) 1) find the chromosomal position of the BRCA-1 gene 2) what is another gene located next to BRCA-1 at this chromosome 3) what is the amino acid sequence of one form of BRCA-1?

The arrangement of genes in a chromosome via inversions, duplications, deletions, insertions, and translocations.

A chromosome has eight alleles in the order ABCDEFGH. Which of the following represents an inversion? ABBCDEFGH ABEDCTFG ABCDGH ABCDEEFFGH ABCDFGH

Understanding the universal nature of the Genetic Code.

The nearly universal nature of the genetic code supports the view that: All living organisms share a common ancestor Nucleic acids were the first living things Proteins are a secondary importance of living systems The protein composites of all living organisms is the same There is redundancy in the genetic code

Mendelian Genetics, Punnet squares

You cross an aa bb mutant plant with an AA BB wild type. What would the F2 segregation ratio be (wild type to mutant) if: a.) both mutations, a and b, were recessive? b.) both mutations were dominant? c.) one mutation was dominant and one recessive? (assume both mutations are required for the mutant phenotype) (assume the genes are not linked)
