HOTAIR is a lncRNA whose gene is found in the Hox C cluster in humans, but it acts by regulating expression of the Hox D genes on another chromosome (in trans) by recruiting to that locus Polycomb Repressive Complex 2. Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding this regulation?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. PRC2 adds trimethyl groups to lysine 27 of histone H3, a mark (H3K27me3) associated with repressed gene expression.

  2. HOTAIR also recruits a second complex that removes histone modifications typically associated with active genes.

  3. Deleting the PRC2-binding domain of HOTAIR destroys its regulatory functions in both development and cancer.

  4. All of the above

Consider the ABO “blood type” gene. This single gene has three alleles called A, B, and O. There are four resultant “blood types” (phenotypic classes), as follows:
                             
Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of the A and B alleles are 0.26 and 0.07, respectively. You now examine the ABO blood types in yet another population. You observe that the AB blood type has a frequency of 0.50 in this population. What are the frequencies of the A and O alleles in this population?
