A. Frank and L. D. Hurst. 1996. Nature 383:224). Using this argument, explain why males with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy are more severely affected than females.arrow_forwardWhat is the generic name of Lexapro?arrow_forward

An abnormal allele td renders the fungus incapable of making its own tryptophan.An individual of genotype td grows only when its medium supplies tryptophan. The allele su assorts independently of td; its only known effect is to suppress the tdphenotype. Therefore, strains carrying both td and su donot require tryptophan for growth.a. If a td ; su strain is crossed with a genotypically wildtype strain, what genotypes are expected in the progenyand in what proportions?b. What will be the ratio of tryptophan-dependent totryptophan-independent progeny in the cross of part a?arrow_forwardIn considering the formation of the A–P and D–V axes inDrosophila, we noted that, for mutations such as bcd,homozygous mutant mothers uniformly produce mutant offspring with segmentation defects. This outcomeis always true regardless of whether the offspring themselves are bcd+/bcd or bcd/bcd. Some other maternaleffect lethal mutations are different, in that the mutantphenotype can be “rescued” by introducing a wild-typeallele of the gene from the father. In other words, forsuch rescuable maternal-effect lethals, mut+/mut animals are normal, whereas mut/mut animals have the mutant defect. Explain the difference between rescuableand nonrescuable maternal-effect lethal mutations.arrow_forward
