Dr. Wassarman conducted experiments to examine DNA content in his fly model of Ataxia Telangiectasia. Consider his Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) data below. First, just compare Panels A and B. In this comparison, Panel B indicates that when Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) is not present at wild-type (control) levels [replicate]. Next consider all the panels, and then compare Panels B and D. The best conclusion that can be drawn from this comparison is that when ATM is not present at wild-type levels [apoptosis].

Consider three individuals: Individual one has 32 CAG repeats (CAG)32 in their huntingtin gene, which encodes 32 glutamines in their huntingtin protein. Individual two has 47 CAG repeats (CAG)47 in their huntingtin gene, encoding 47 glutamines in their huntingtin protein. Individual three has (CAG)15 CAA (CAG)15 CAA (CAG)15 in their huntingtin gene, encoding 47 glutamines in their huntingtin protein. 1) Compare individual 1 and 2, replication slippage affecting the huntingtin gene [2a]. 2) Compare individual 2 and 3, replication slippage affecting the huntingtin gene [2b]. 3) For each individual, which strand is more likely to slip?
