what are splice junction mutations?

Answer Posted / swapna

G-to-C substitution at the 5 end of an intron in the muscle-
specific subunit gene.

The mutation destroys the high-consensus GT sequence at the
5 splice junction of the intron, which causes skipping of
the preceding exon.

This is the second molecular genetic defect identified in
the myopathic variant of PhK deficiency.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
