. Which of the following scenarios is most likely to result in a hypomorphic mutation? An alu element inserts into the exon of a ribosomal RNA gene c An Ac element that was inserted into the exon of a gene, tranposes via the cut and paste mechanism of transposition A LINE element inserts into another LINE element in the human genome uobe An Ac element inserts into an intron C A transposable element contains a binding site for a transcriptional repressor and inserts adjacent to to a promotor x 0.5 points QUESTION 5 In maize, kernel color is affected by several genes, one of which leads to red (R/R, R/r) or white (r/r) color. If genotype of an individual is R/r, with an Ac element inserted into the R allele, what phenotypes could be seen? (There may be more than one correct answer.) ? white kernels v ?white kernels with red spots , natw awa ? red kernels e red kernels with white spots ?pink kernels p R Pr 2Explanation / Answer
Hi,
4. A LINE element inserts into another LINE element in the human genome.
The LINE are transposable elements which have reverse transcriptase component. they are known to insert into the genes and cause mssense mutations which alter the gene expression.
5. Ac transoson can distrupt the chromatin and causes insertional mutagenesis often resulting in loss of phenotype. Hence the plant would appear white.
