QUESTION 6 The agouti gene in mice plays a role in determining coat colour. At this locus (a term for a gene), the genotype aa produces an agouti coat colour (a greyish colour) and the heterozygote Aa produces a yellow coat colour. The AA homozygotes, however, die very early in development - the yellow coat colour allele is a lethal allele when homozygous (clearly the encoded protein has functions other than simply coat colour). What is the expected phenotypic ratio of live mice resulting from a cross of two Aa mice? (Cross: Aa x Aa) OA. 3:1 agouti:yellow OB. 3:1 yellow:agouti OC. 2:1 agouti:yellow OD.2:1 yellow:agouti

Question for assignment: Using a transgenic technique, propose an experiment to determine whether Cdx2 is sufficient for trophoblast development in the mouse embryo. Describe two results that you would expect to observe at the blastocyst stage if Cdx2 is indeed sufficient for trophoblast development. Be as specific as possible regarding the transgene that you propose for this experiment (including what gene's enhancer you would use in the transgene). Note: you do not need to explain the details of how a transgenic mouse is made. Describe the experiment in steps (Step 1: ..., Step 2: ... etc) and please keep your answer to under 150 words. TIPS FOR ANSWERING: DONT talk about stop cassetes/memory cassetes, focus on transgenes Paper (Cdx2 is required for correct cell fate specification and differentiation of trophectoderm in the mouse blastocust) gave lots of results that you might see,, 6 diff ways that cdx2 is required for trophoblasts need specific gene enhancer (dont just say…

VARIATIONS IN GENE EXPRESSION In humans, the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene involved in sugar metabolism is X-linked. The dominant allele (G) codes for fast enzymes for normal cell functioning while the recessive allele (g) codes for slow enzymes, which are responsible for the reduced enzymatic activity of cells. However, the presence of slow enzymes has minimal effect in the overall functioning of heterozygotes, thus normal. Recessives, however, are more prone to oxidative reactions that speed up the cell damaging process, thus weak (but not lethal). If random inactivation occurs during dosage compensation, what would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the children of a heterozygous mother and a recessive father? Show COMPLETE cross.

PART 3– Sex Linkage Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked disorder in which an important clotting factor protein (Factor VIII) is not produced in a functional form. Queen Victoria was a carrier of the recessive Factor VIII allele, meaning she carried the allele but was asymptomatic. Recently, historians have discovered that she secretly had an affair with the Austrian Count Chocula, who, unbeknownst to her, was a hemophiliac. Naturally, the Royal Family fought to have this information suppressed, but it was revealed that they had many children together. 1. Using the correct allele notation, write the genotypes for Queen Victoria and Count Chocula. 2. In the Punnett Square below, show the cross between the Queen and the Count. P> PĮ
Complementation tests of distinct recessive mutants, 1 through 8, produce the data in the matrix below. A plus (+) indicates complementation, meaning the phenotype of the combined alleles is wild type, and a minus (-) indicates a failure to complement meaning that a mutant phenotype results. Assume that the missing mutant combinations would yield data consistent with the entries that are shown. How many complementation groups are formed by these eight mutants?
