You are studying regulation of the yeast enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), which is encoded by the GLN1 gene. You have isolated two mutants, designated gln2– and gln3–, that give decreased GS activity. Mating of either gln2– or gln3– haploids to wild type produces heterozygous diploids that show normal amounts of GS expression. When you cross either a gln2– or gln3– haploid to a gln1– strain the resulting diploids show normal expression of GS.              

From these experiments,  Classify  the  gln2– and gln3– mutations in terms of their basic genetic properties explaining the rationale behind your conclusions. Based on these properties make a proposal for the types of regulatory functions affected by the gln2– and gln3– mutations.

Your friends Ben and Jane are contemplating having children and seek your genetic counsel. Ben and Jane are unrelated, but both have younger brothers with the same, extremely rare genetic trait. (In fact, Ben and Jane met at a support group meeting for children and families of children with this rare disorder.) Ben’s parents and Jane’s parents are all unaffected.          

Assume that the trait is autosomal dominant with 80% penetrance in heterozygotes and 100% penetrance in homozygotes. If not affected, what is the probability that the child is a carrier?
