Unequal crossing over during Prophase I can result in one sister chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication. A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore, is known in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it was caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. If it is still maintained in the human population, hemoglobin Lepore must be selected for in evolution. 

  2. There should also be persons born with, if not living long lives with, an anti-Lepore mutation or duplication.

  3. Each of the genes in the hemoglobin gene family must show the same deletion.

  4. The deleted gene must have undergone exon shuffling.

The diagram below shows the F factor and a portion of the E. coli chromosome that has three different insertion sequences (IS) of the same type as is carried on F.
                     
Describe the three different Hfrs (Hfr #1, Hfr #2 and Hfr #3) that can be formed by recombination between the IS on F and each of the IS sequences on the chromosome. Some including the positions of each of the markers (A, B, C, and D) and state which of these markers would be transferred early?
