Loss of 15q 12, the PWS/AS region produces different symptoms depending on the parent of origin. PWS results from the loss of paternal copies of this region. Deletion of the same region on the maternal chromosome causes AS.
Human SNRPN, a gene in the deleted region is monoallelically expressed in normal fetal brain and heart and in adult brain. Analysis of maternal DNA and SNRPN cDNA confirmed that the maternal allele of SNRPN is not expressed in fetal brain and heart. Maternal imprinting of SNRPN supports the hypothesis that paternal absence of SNRPN is responsible for the PWS phenotype. Thus it is reasonable to assume that PWS symptoms result at least in part from the absence of SNRPN. Of course the assumption is a hypothesis and testing is always a good idea in science. Which of the following experimental suggestions might provide evidence to support or refute the hypothesis that SNRPN absence leads to PWS?
a. use a b-galactosidase reporter to show that SNRPN is maternally imprinted
b. use a constitutive promoter construct to turn SNRPN on in the male parent's deletion
c. use siRNA to silence SNRPN in normal male parents
d. use a CCKa deleted maternal SNRPN to facilitate imprinting
e. use PstI to digest the male, deletion parents DNA and probe for SNRPN
What key revision to our understanding has made (at least some of) the icy moons of the outer planets in our Solar System promising targets for searches for life and evidence of past life?
What are the characteristics of life? There are some things, like planets, stars, viruses and prions that have many of the characteristics of life, but are not alive.

Read over the description of the Human Inherited Traits in the Week 6 Experiment instructions in our course and complete the table given below.
The mass of an empty Erlenmeyer flask and stopper was determined to be 52.06 grams. When filled with distilled water, the mass was 303.0 grams.
Assume you identify five members of a multi-gene family that are expressed in the same tissues. All 5 genes appear to be equally expressed in all tissues.
A technician wearing a circular metal band on his wrist moves his hand (from a region where the magnetic field is zero) into a uniform magnetic field of magnitude.
The characteristic (trait) could be something like coloration pattern, length of the limbs, size of the teeth or beak, or any measurable trait that is inherited.
