- Dosage compensation is critical for organisms with sex chromosomes to equilibrate gene expression. The role of long non-coding RNAs has been shown to play an important role in affecting the decision to carry out X chromosome inactivation during dosage compensation in mammals. Q9a) How can a long non-coding RNA affect the decision to keep an X-chromosome active in female mammals? Q9b) How can a long non-coding RNA initiate the steps to silence the chromosome to be inactivated? Q9c) Explain which long non-coding RNA is responsible for the various steps to silence the inactive X and describe how its function leads to changes in the chromatin that are incompatible with active transcription off the inactive Xarrow_forwardHow can one most effectively silence the myofilament gene unc-22 in C. elegans to produce the twitching phenotype? O A. Screen thousands of strains for a spontaneous unc-22 mutation O B. Soak worms in mutagenic solutions of EMS and screen the progeny OC. Inject antisense strands of unc-22 RNA into worm ovaries, which will be taken up by germ line cells and expressed in progeny O D. Inject a high dose of unc-22 MRNA into worm ovaries, which will be taken up by germ line cells and expressed in progeny O E. Culture worms with E. coli transformed with a plasmid that codes for a dsRNA unc-22 constructarrow_forwardThree similar proteins are expressed in human tissues: HHT1 is expressed in the liver, HHT2 is expressed in the pancreas, and HHT3 is expressed in the heart. You are given the task of investigating how these 3 similar proteins are produced. After investigation, you conclude that: all answers are correct it is possible that HHT1 and 3 are produced via alternative splicing, and HHT2 is encoded by a different gene it is possible that all 3 proteins are encoded by the same gene and produced via alternative splicing it is possible that each of these proteins are encoded by different genes (3 different genes)arrow_forward
- A translocation mutation results in a silencer being inserted just upstream of the promoter of a gene (Gene X). How would you predict the expression of gene X be affected by this mutation? Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor protein Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor proteinarrow_forwardBased on Pruisner (2013), match each of the following terms with its appropriate definition or description. PRNP gene CPEB (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding) protein NFT (neurofibrillary tangle) A673T-mutated AAP MAPT gene A. a "nonpathogenic prion" B. encodes PrPC (the normal cellular form of prion protein) C. encodes tau protein; mutations in this gene underlie many familial FTDs (frontotemporal dementias) D. tau-rich fibril associated with many neurodegenerative diseases E. a missense mutation in β-secretase which appears to protect against late-onset…arrow_forwardThis chapter describes different types of TEs, including insertionelements, simple transposons, LTR retrotransposons, and non-LTRretrotransposons. Which of these four types of TEs have the followingfeatures?A. Require reverse transcriptase to transposeB. Require transposase to transposeC. Are flanked by direct repeatsD. Have inverted repeatsarrow_forward
- which laboratory method can be used to quantify levels of mRNAs expressed in samples of two different types of stem cells?arrow_forwardPlease answer asaparrow_forwardYour identify a number of mutants and start to characterize the problems in their mismatch repair mechanisms. Based on the following initial results of your experiments, predict which mismatch repair protein(s) is mutated in each mutant. (Your experiments tells you what mismatches are being left unfixed.) Mutant 1: Still contains mismatches where G binds to T and T binds to G Mutant 2: Roughly one half of all mismatches remain. Mutant 3: All mutations remain, but you find that no mismatch repair proteins are non-functional. Mutant 4: All mutations remain, and you find increased MutL-MutS complexes bound to the DNA.arrow_forward
- The protein Menchie is conserved from cats to humans. The region upstream of the menchie gene has three conserved sequences: region A, B, and C. Mutations were made in this upstream region by removing these regions or changing the orientation of these regions. Additionally, the coding sequence for Menchie was replaced with the coding sequence for green fluorescent protein (GFP; gene = gfp). GFP fluorescence was measured for each of the indicated constructs and the results are summarized. The arrow indicates the direction of transcription and where transcription starts (the +1 site). c. Which region (A, B, or C) contains an enhancer sequence? Briefly explain your answer, using at least two lines of evidence from the results shown; please use the #s to indicate the line of evidence you are describing. d. Which region (A, B, or C) contains a silencer sequence? Briefly explain your answer, using at least two lines of evidence from the results shown; please use the #s to indicate the line…arrow_forwardPlease answerarrow_forwardWnt4 is expressed in a variety of embryonic tissues. You decide to study this gene during mouse development Part 1 In the mouse embryo at gastrulation, are Wnts concentrated at the anterior or posterior region? Part 2 You decide to conduct a Wnt4 immunoblot (Western blot), using tissues from mouse embryos. What key reagent do you need to carry out this method? Part 3 Your immunoblot shows that Wnt4 is expressed in the embryonic ovary. What also needs to be expressed in the ovary for Wnt4 to have an effect there? Part 4 Outline in three dot points how Wnt4 can induce gene expression in neighbouring cells. Part 5 a. What method you would use to show that Wnt4 gene is required for ovary development in the mouse? b. In three dot points, outline how this method is carried out.arrow_forward
