The fugate family, also known as the "blue people of kentucky" have a condition known as methemoglobinemia which prevents hemoglobin from carrying oxygen and makes it difficult for unaffected hemoglobin to release oxygen to body tissues. this condition can be caused by exposure to drugs and chemicals, but can also be inherited, as with the fugates. it causes their skin to be blue and their blood is brownish, due to a lack of oxygen, and is likely to be due to the absence of an enzyme. martin fugate came to kentucky in 1820 and was reported to have been blue. he married elizabeth smith, with a normal complexion, although members of her family and other families in the region were blue. gene flow or migration is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. select the combination of facts that indicate the occurrence of gene flow in the fugate family. i. four of the fugate's seven children had blue complexions. ii. travel in and out of this area was rare in the 1800's, but is more common now. iii. according to doctors, occurrence of the condition is rarely seen anymore. iv. methemoglobinemia at 10-20 percent of hemoglobin can cause blue skin without more serious symptoms. a) i. and iv. b) i. and iii. c) iii. and iv. d) ii. and iii.

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression. c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression. d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
