1. How many total base pairs are in all the mammalian genes? 2. What proportion (%) of the total genome does this represent? 3. What is the probability that a random mutation will occur in any given gene? 4. Only 1 out of 3 mutations that occur in a gene […]

Q1. Drug effects are conditional. Drugs can target redundant gene products not limited to model systems Active compounds can help define drug leads and new “druggable” targets. Target identification can be technically challenging probably not as random as mutagenesis. What is essential for effective chemical genetics? Q2. Describe the term […]

You are free to introduce other concepts/frameworks as well.  For the future, be sure to indicate both actual and potential competitors and collaborators.  Your paper should be ten pages, double-spaced, using 12-point type, not including appendixes, exhibits, and/or references.  As with your individual papers, you may either write an essay […]

You have four colonies of mice that are independent of each other. Each has a true-breeding mutation resulting in a short tail. For each colony, the short tail phenotype is recessive to the wild-type long-tail phenotype. You do not know whether these four short tail phenotypes are due to mutations […]
