Question
What are Chromosome Fragile Sites?
Answer
  • Sites where double strand breaks are likely to occur
  • Sites that can be easily split accidentally by protein machinery
  • Sites that are likely to warp during heat shock

Question 3

Question
Chromosome fragile sites are thought to be caused by difficulties during meiosis
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
What does NHEJ stand for?
Answer
  • Non-homologous end joining
  • Non-homologous editing joints
  • Non-heterodimeric end joints

Question 5

Question
What are the requirements for NHEJ?
Answer
  • Double strand breaks
  • Single strand breaks
  • T-T lesions
  • DNA ligase 4
  • DNA ligase 2

Question 6

Question
The repair process of NHEJ will join any 2 free ends together, regardless of homology
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
An error in NHEJ can lead to translocation between which chromosomes, forming what type of chromosome fusion?
Answer
  • Philadelphia chromosome
  • Inverted chromosome
  • 8 &12
  • 9 & 22
  • 13 & 21

Question 8

Question
The repair process of Homologous Recombination relies on what?
Answer
  • That the damaged sequence in the sister chromatid is intact

  • That the damaged sequence in the other allele is intact

Question 9

Question
What is required for an error in Homologous Recombination?
Answer
  • A faulty alignment of the two chromosomes
  • A faulty alignment of the two chromatids
  • Due to inversions
