C9orf72 is a gene with repeat length variation. A GGGGCC sequence is repeated in this gene. In most people, this sequence is repeated less than 20 times. However, in some people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) this sequences is repeated hundreds of times. The expanded repeat in the C9orf72 gene leads to the production of a toxic protein. Scientists are currently trying to develop a gene therapy to treat ALS caused by the expanded repeat in C9orf72. What should be delivered to cells to treat ALS caused by an expanded repeat in the C9orf72 gene? Chose the best answer:

A man claiming to be a long lost child of a recently deceased millionaire argues he has a claim to the inheritance. The deceased millionaire has blood type O and this man has blood type AB. Could the millionaire be the father of this man?

Consider the images below. The red and white flower was produced by crossing a flower that was red with a flower that was white. The red and white flower is an example of [codominance]. The pink flower was produced by crossing a flower that was red with a flower that was white. The pink flower is an example of [incompletedominance]. Type AB blood is an example of [codominance2]. Type A blood from the IAi genotype is an example of [completedominance].
