Week 10 Lecture Quizzes Human Genetics (Case Study )

WEEK 10 LECTURE QUIZZES HUMAN GENETICS (CASE STUDY SICKLE CELL DISEASE) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED A+ RNA vaccines involve the use of a synthetic RNA encoding a viral gene that is delivered into host cells. Once inside the host cell, the mRNA is translated to produce viral protein antigens. - correct answers-True Dr. Barber discussed the typical components of vaccines. Which one of these is not a typical component? - correct answers-viral genomic DNA While there are several different types of tests to detect the presence of a viral infection, the type being used by the UO's testing laboratory is: - correct answers-qPCR All three of the Covid-19 vaccines discussed as being available within the next couple of months (Moderna, AstraZeneca & Pfizer) work by teaching the human immune systems to recognize a specific protein found in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. What protein is it? - correct answers-S, the spike protein: form the outer layer of the coronavirus and helps protect the RNA Which statement below best describes the relationship between SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus and COVID-19? - correct answers-SARS-CoV-2 is a type of coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19. Why do our cells require oxygen? - correct answers-Oxygen is a reactant in cellular respiration What happens to the oxygen in our cells? - correct answers-Oxygen is reduced forming water in the electron transport chain Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the HBB(β-globin) gene. HBB gene monomers are ______. - correct answers-Nucleotides 2 β-globin proteins (blue) and 2 ⍺-globin proteins (red) form hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in our red blood cells. Which levels of protein structure are visible in the hemoglobin protein image below? - correct answers-secondary, tertiary, quarternary In lab you analyzed the human HBB (β-globin) gene and concluded that Sickle Cell Disease arises from a mutation in the 6th codon as shown below.
