A
31
Q

How can gene duplication occur during dna replication

A
32
Q

Explain trypsin and chymotrypsin as an example of subfunctionalism

A
33
Q

Name the two types of pseudogenes

A

Non processed pseudogenes
Processed pseudogenes

34
Q

Explain what is meant by non processed pseudogenes

A
35
Q

Explain what is meant by processed pseudogenes

A
36
Q

Give an example of psuedogenes

A
37
Q

What are multigene families *

A

Multigene families are groups of related genes within an organism’s genome that share a common origin and often similar DNA sequences. These genes likely arose from a single ancestral gene that duplicated over evolutionary time

38
Q

What are HOX transcription factors main role

A
39
Q

What is the homeodomain of HOX proteins

A
40
Q

Where is the normal antennapedia gene expressed

A

Insects have one cluster of Hox genes (8 genes)

41
Q

What can a mutation is the antennapedia gene cause + homeotic meaning

A
42
Q

What are the two gene clusters that the 8 major HOX genes (in drosophila) are found in called

A
43
Q

How many HOX gene clusters do humans have

A
44
Q

What can mutations in the following genes respectively cause ; HOXD13, HOXA2, HOXB1

A

Deformed toes/fingers

Deformed ears

Variable Ear, Hearing, and Skeletal/Brain Anomalies

45
Q

1) What is thought to be the HOX vertebrate common ancestor
2) What is the oldest known animal with 4 HOX gene clusters

A

2) Sea lamprey

46
Q

What effects could larger/ entire genome duplication have on an organism

A
47
Q

What is polyploidy and in what organisms are they commonly found in

A

Multiple complete sets of
chromosomes

48
Q

Name the two types of polyploidy

A
  • ‘Autopolyploidy’ (‘Auto’ = same)
  • ‘Allopolyploidy’ (‘Allo’ = other)
49
Q

What is autopolyploidy

A

Autopolyploidy is a type of polyploidy (having more than two sets of chromosomes) that occurs when an organism has multiple copies of chromosomes from the same species

50
Q

What are the issues with autopolyploidy

A
51
Q

What is allopolyploidy

A
52
Q

What are the benefits of whole genome duplication

A
53
Q

What is a locus?

A

Each gene has a locus, which is a specific position on a pair of homologous chromosomes

54
Q

What is an allele?

A

( Ignore red writing - incorrect . Meant to say chromosome. Bands on chromosome is the allele)

55
Q

What is the meanings of : genotype, heterozygous, homozygous, dominant and recessive alleles, phenotype

A

A phenotype is the physical manifestation of a genotype. (Physical trait)

56
Q

What is an SNP

A
57
Q

Why are SNPs important

A
58
Q

Where can SNPs occur and what is the effect of an SNP appearing in that location

A
59
Q

What are the two categories that diseases associated with SNPs fall into

A
60
Q

What are coding SNPs and what are the two types

A
61
Q

Explain the two types of substitutions

A
62
Q

What are the two types of Alzheimer’s
What alleles are associated with Alzheimer’s and their risk levels for developing Alzheimer’s

A
63
Q

What are non coding SNPs

A
64
Q

What is the OAS1 gene associated with

A
65
Q

What could happen if a splice site is disrupted due to an SNP

A
66
Q

What could indel mutations cause

A
67
Q

What are Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS)

A
68
Q

How are Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) findings visualised

A
69
Q

What are the aims of genome projects

A
70
Q

What are the challenges of GWAS

A
71
Q

What is meant by linkage disequilibrium and how does it relate to GWAS

A
72
Q

What are eQTLs and how do they relate to GWAS

A

Integrating GWAS with gene expression data is now largely routine
The association between GWAS and eQTL identified SNPs can lead to identification of disease causing genes

73
Q

What are cis and trans eQTLs

A
74
Q

Explain one way SNPs can be studied
