Explain how CAR T-cell works and what it is used for.  (2 points) Select one genetics topic that was covered in the course that you didn’t know about before (and surprised you). What was it? What did you learn and how will it affect you as you progress on your life journey?    HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE COURSES/CAREERS! PLEASE TAKE THE COURSE SURVEY (SEE ANNOUNCEMENTS); IT HELPS ME SHAPE FUTURE COURSES 🙂   

Below is a 2n=4 cell during interphase (G1). Explain the differences if the cell went through mitosis, or meiosis (i.e. the chromosome number at the end of each cell division). Additionally, highlight when (i.e. which phase) nondisjunction would occur that would result in 4 aneuploid gametes. Note: dotted and solid chromosomes are to distinguish homologues.

Epigenetic changes

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) has over 15 known genes (most likely in a some kind of pathway) that can cause the disease phenotype: a progressive degeneration of nervous system function. This is an example of:

The following pedigree is for BRAC2 mutation on chromosome 13. Based on your understanding of inheritance, is it dominant or recessive. What is the probability the III-1 (arrow) inherited the BRAC2 mutation? Note: filled in circles represent known cancer victims with the BRAC2 allele. Does inheriting BRAC2 non-functional allele actually cause cancer? Justify your answer.
