A karyotype is the process of pairing and ordering all the chromosomes into a visual representation. b. By using a procedure called fluorescent immunohistochemistry in situ hybridization , short pieces of DNA are marked with a fluorescent marker. When exposed to specific wavelengths of light , the markers emit different colors of light and create a banding pattern . c. These patterns help determine any chromosomal changes , such as changes in chromosome number, or subtle changes due to mutations. d. Examples of changes due to mutations . Example 1: Deletions : The chromosome breaks and some genetic material is lost meaning there is less genetic material in the chromosome. e. Example 2: Duplications There is an extra copy of a chromosomal region meaning there is more genetic material in the chromosomes. f. Example 3: Translocations When a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. g. Example 4: Inversions There is no change in the amount of genetic material. Instead, a breakage occurs on the chromosome resulting in pieces of DNA in a reversed order.

Copies of a specific genes are made so they may be analyzed to determine if a specific allele is mutated PCR Correct b. A gene is inserted into a bacteria and the cloned DNA is used to create copies of a gene and to locate a mutation Gene Cloning Correct c. A gene with a known location on a chromosome that can be used to identify mutations due to some variation seen at the genomic loci Genetic marker Correct d. The process of determining the exact nucleic acid sequence in the gene of interest and determine if some variation is seen in the nucleic acid sequence DNA sequencing Correct e. A tool used to determine patterns of gene expression from a particular individual and whether or not a mutation in genes exist due to the expression pattern DNA microarray Correct

At its simplest or ____ level, hemoglobin is made up of a linear sequence _____ linked together by peptide bonds. b. The most common _______ protein structures are the alpha helix and the _____ sheet which are a result of each globin molecule interacting with itself to form stable structures; therefore, the polypeptide does not remain linear but rather bends and folds. c. The _____structure refers to its stable three-dimensional shape maintained by the covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds between the _____ in the amino acid. d. Since hemoglobin is due to the formation of multiple polypeptide subunits, called ____ , it has a quaternary structure. e. Of the _____ globins that make up hemoglobin, two are identical and called _____ globins, and the other two are called beta globins and are also identical. f. Each of the polypeptides of the hemoglobin protein contains a _____ group which contains iron and binds to ____ oxygen molecule, allowing each hemoglobin molecule to bind ____oxygen molecules. Based on this information, it is clear that the _____ of the hemoglobin protein is critical. Changes in the structure would significantly limit its ability to circulate ______ through the body.
