6. State the number of chromosomes present in a single human diploid cell.

7. Identify structures a. and b. on the line drawing of a chromosome in prophase shown to the right.

15. DNA base sequence.

16. Amino acid sequence in the resulting polypeptide.

17. Compare the following types of base-substitution mutation.

18. Silent mutationMis-sense mutationNonsense mutationNumber of bases substituted1Effect on polypeptideStop codon produced early – polypeptide shortenedExample illnessSickle cell disease

19. Describe the effects of sickle cell disease on sufferers in terms of:

20. Hemoglobin production

21. Symptoms and mortality

22. Identify parts of the world where a single sickle cell (Hbs) allele could be beneficial

24. Outline how mutations lead to evolution by natural selection.

30. Outline how the spread of the sickle cell gene is an example of natural selection in action.

35. Using the same database, look for the gene related to the illness PKU (phenylketonuria)

36. What is the gene name?

38. What is the gene locus of this gene?

40. Which enzyme is encoded by this gene?

42. What is the consequence of a base-substitution (mis-sense) mutation of this gene?

44. How is PKU diagnosed and why must it be diagnosed as early as possible?

46. Stem cells link:
