Question

Imagine that you have generated three hybrid (mouse-human) cell lines that contain the following human chromosomes and protein products of interest:

Line 15: Chromosomes 1,5,6,7,8;            Human Proteins X and Z

Line 27: Chromosomes 3,4,7,8;               Human Proteins W and Z

Line 34: Chromosomes 2,4,6,8;               Human Proteins W, X, and Z

What are the likely chromosome locations of the W, X, Y, and Z genes?

The chromosome location of one of these genes remains unresolved. List that gene as uncertain

Please help - I don't understand

Explanation / Answer

The likely chromosome locations of protein X genes is, 1, 2, 5, 6

The likely chromosome locations of protein Y genes is, ----> Uncertain

The likely chromosome locations of protein Z genes is, -----> 7, 8

The likely chromosome locations of protein W genes is, --------> 3, 4
