Ultraviolet light causes thymine dimers to form in DNA. Some individuals are genetically incapable of repairing these dimers at "normal" rates. Such individuals are likely to suffer from Oxeroderma pigmentosum phenylketonuria muscular dystrophy Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) O pancreatic cancer

This is a blank question. Thank you in advance, Bloom Syndrome Bloom syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It is characterized by short stature and a long narrow face with prominent nose and ears. There is also increased sensitivity to light. People who have the disorder often develop rashes on their face, forearms, and hands when they have been exposed to the sun. In addition, these people often suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and have a higher chance of developing cancer. The cause of this genetic disorder is a mutation in the BLM gene located on chromosome 15. The immediate effect of this mutation is that there is a defect in the functioning of the DNA helicase enzyme. What would be the effect of this mutation on DNA replication? What stage of the cell cycle would be most affected?

Hurler syndrome is due to a mutation in a gene that encodes aprotein called α-l-iduronidase. This protein functions withinlysosomes as an enzyme that breaks down mucopolysaccharides(a type of polysaccharide that has many acidic groups attached).When this enzyme is defective, excessive amounts of the mucopolysaccharides dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate accumulatewithin the lysosomes, especially in liver cells and connectivetissue cells. This accumulation leads to symptoms such as anenlarged liver and spleen, bone abnormalities, corneal clouding,heart problems, and severe neurological problems. The pedigreebelow contains three members affected with Hurler syndrome,indicated with black symbols. Based on this pedigree, does thissyndrome appear to follow autosomal recessive, autosomaldominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominant inheritance?Explain your reasoning.
Skin cancer carries a lifetime risk nearly equal to that of allother cancers combined. Following is a graph [modified fromK. H. Kraemer (1997). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 94:11–14]depicting the age of onset of skin cancers in patients with orwithout XP, where the cumulative percentage of skin cancer is plotted against age. The non-XP curve is based on 29,757 cancerssurveyed by the National Cancer Institute, and the curverepresenting those with XP is based on 63 skin cancers from theXeroderma Pigmentosum Registry.
Some people have a genetic predisposition for developing priondiseases. Examples are described in Table 25.6. In the case ofGerstmann-Straüssler-Scheinker disease, the age of onset istypically 30–50 years, and the duration of the disease (whichleads to death) is about 5 years. Suggest a possible explanationwhy someone can live for a relatively long time withoutsymptoms and then succumb to the disease in a relativelyshort time.
