7. A fish inherits a mutation in the Pitx1 coding region. This is a nonsense mutation that introduces a premature stop codon, resulting in a nonfunctional truncated protein. You isolate DNA from jaw, pelvic, eye, and pituitary tissues. In which tissue(s) would you expect to see this Pitx1 coding region mutation? Draw an "X" over the Pitx1 coding region in the tissues where you would expect to see the mutation.

A scientist creates fruit fly larvae with a mutation that eliminates the exonuclease function of DNA pol III. Which prediction about the mutational load in the adult fruit flies is most likely to be correct? The adults with the DNA pol III mutation will have significantly more mutations than average The adults with the DNA pol III mutation will have slightly more mutations than average The adults with the DNA pol III mutation will have the same number of mutations as average The adults with the DNA pol III mutation will have fewer mutations than average.

1) A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors. All BUT ONE of the statements below correctly describes or explains genetic mutations. A) Mutation can disrupt normal cell activity and cause diseases, like cancer. B) Mutations in parents' cells are then passed down to offspring via reproduction. C) Our cells can recognise any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it permanent. D) Mutations can occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, toxins and radiation.

2. a. You want to create a genetic construct that will express GFP in Drosophila. In addition to the GFPcoding sequence, what DNA element(s) must youinclude in order to express this protein in flies if theconstruct were integrated into the Drosophila genome? Where should such DNA element(s) be located? How would you ensure that GFP is expressedonly in certain tissues of the fly, such as the wing?b. Suppose you insert the GFP coding region plus allof the DNA elements required by the answer to part(a)—except the enhancer—between inverted repeatsfound at the ends of a particular transposable element.Because all of the DNA sequences located betweenthese inverted repeats can move from place to placein the Drosophila genome, you can generate manydifferent fly strains, each with the construct integrated at a different genomic location. You now examine animals from each strain for GFPfluorescence. Animals from different strains showdifferent patterns: some glow green in the eyes,others in…

4. It is known that RNA is a nucleic acid responsible for the synthesis of proteins. However, there is another nucleic acid alongside RNA: DNA. What role does the latter play in relation to RNA? a) RNA is synthesized in the cell in case too large a mutation damages the DNA. b) DNA has the reproductive genetic code of all cells and passes it on to RNA. c) DNA directs the synthesis of enzymes, while RNA synthesizes proteins. d) DNA synthesizes RNA according to a blueprint that includes the guidelines necessary for the structure of proteins.
6. Suppose a particular gene is required for early development and also later for development of a particulartissue, such as the adult nervous system. By generating a homozygous mutant clone in that tissue of a heterozygote, researchers can circumvent the lethalitythat would result if the entire animal is homozygousfor a loss-of-function mutation in that gene.A technique called MARCM (Mosaic Analysiswith a Repressible Cell Marker) was developed to enable Drosophila geneticists to generate homozygousmutant cell clones that are marked by the presence of areporter protein such as GFP. Marker expression enables the investigator to observe clearly the mutantphenotype within a clone of mutant cells. This technique relies on a yeast protein called Gal80 that is anegative regulator of the Gal4 protein described previously in Solved Problem II. Gal80 binds to Gal4 andprevents it from activating transcription. The idea ofMARCM is that Gal4/UASG-driven GFP expression isblocked by Gal80 throughout…

3. You want to produce mass amounts of oxytocin, a small peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland in humans that plays a role in uterine contraction during child birth and lactation during nursing. Your basic approach will be to obtain the gene for oxytocin from the pituitary gland, splice it into a bacterial plasmid, then grow lots of the bacteria to obtain lots of the hormone. For each tool or item listed below, describe what role it plays in the approach you are using to make lots of oxytocin. Pituitary mRNA Reverse transcriptase
