The myostatin gene has three exons and two introns. The precursor form of the protein is 335 amino acids long. The final form is a glycoprotein. Caden and Jaden have a G to A point mutation near the end of the first exon near the first intron (figure 6). This mutation alters splicing of the introns out of the mRNA in a way that lengthens the mRNA transcribed from exon 1 and produces a nonsense mutation in exon 2. The result: the gene doesnt work, the muscles do not produce myostatin, and they overgrow.
11. Explain why all known myostatin mutations that cause double muscling are nonsynonymous (change the encoded amino acid sequence) rather than synonymous (do not change the amino acid sequence).
12. Do you think that someone who is extra strong due to a myostatin mutation should be considered to have an unfair advantage in athletic competition?
13. Suggest a medical treatment that would involve the use of myostatin.

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
