You are studying a disease that is known to be caused by a single nucleotide change in a single gene, although the effect this change ultimately has on the protein's structure and function is unknown. You have DNA samples from multiple patients that you suspect of having this disease. What is the most efficient way to test the samples for the relevant mutation? Select one: a. High-throughput genome sequencing b. PCR amplification followed by Sanger DNA sequencing c. High-throughput exome sequencing d. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis e. PCR amplification followed by gel electrophoresis

In a genomic analysis looking for a specific disease gene, one candidate gene was found to have a single-base-pair substitution resulting in a nonsynonymous amino acid change. What would you have to check before concluding that you had identified the disease-causing gene?
If you are doing research and you are going to use CRISPR-Cas technology to introduce a single nucleotide change in a gene of interest in a living cell. Which component of the reaction do you have to design in order to identify the gene of interest in the cell? Select one: to. Cell DNA b. Restriction enzyme c. RNA guides d. The Cas enzyme

Genetic diagnosis by DNA testing $a$. detects only mutant and not normal alleles. $b$. can be done only on eggs or sperm. $c .$ involves hybridization to rRNA. $d$. utilizes restriction enzymes and a polymorphic site. $e .$ cannot be done with PCR.
