Question
Pick the correct answer choice
(Problem 16) In an <I>in situ</I> hybridization experiment, a certain clone bonded to only the X chromosome in a boy with no disease symptoms. However, in a boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (X-linked recessive disease), it bonded to the X chromosome and to an autosome. Could this clone be useful in isolating the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy? No, because it nonspecifically bonded to the autosome. No, because the clone only matches the autosome and nonspecifically bonded to the X. Yes, because the clone hybridizes to a translocation breakpoint between the X and autosome. Yes, because it matches a region found on both the X and the autosome.Explanation / Answer
16. C.Yes, because the clone hybridizes to a translocation breakpoint between the X and autosome.
18. Yes, it is the site where the repressor protein binds to the DNA.
28. sequence of the gene.
40. 13
