MHC class II molecules expressed on the surface of thymic cortical epithelial cells normally have a wide repertoire of different peptides bound to them. By engineering a construct that fuses the MHC class II protein to a single peptide sequence, and expressing this construct in thymic cortical epithelial cells that have their endogenous MHC class II genes knocked out, it is possible to generate a mouse line where all MHC class II proteins expressed on all thymic cortical epithelial cells are bound to the same peptide. These mice are often referred to as ‘single-peptide’ mice. Examination of the T cell developing in these single peptide mice would likely show:
A. A significant reduction in the numbers of mature CD4 T cells
B. No change in the numbers of mature CD4 T cells
C. A block in T cell development at the CD4+CD8+double-positive stage
D. A repertoire of T-cell receptors on mature CD4 T cells restricted to a single Vbeta
E. A block in T cell development at the CD4-CD8-double-negative stage

Approximately 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. the disease is typically related to mutations to genes (pkd1 and pkd2). pkd genes can be found on chromosome 16. the disease occurs in approximately 1: 800 to 1: 1000 people. here is a hypothetical example. the dominant allele d will cause the development of pkd. the recessive allele is known as d. what genotypes would correspond to suffering from pkd? dd, dd what genotypes would correspond to being normal (not suffering from pkd)? dd consider that 1: 1,000 people have pkd in your population of 325million. consider that pkd is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. show you math for all of the following questions: what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is p? what is q? how many people in your population would have pkd?
