In drosophila, a recessive mutation (m-) of a maternal effect gene results in an abnormalphenotype wherein homozygous (m-m-) females produce eggs that cannot support embryonicdevelopment. Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. Using m+ todenote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produce by a crossbetween a heterozygous female and a recessive male. From the offspring, backcross the recessivefemale with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s?
In a tissue engineering experiment, stem cells are grown in a circular dish (diameter = 3 cm) with a
thin layer of cell culture media covering the cells. It is expected that these cells will differentiate when exposed a new differentiation factor (small molecule) at a surface concentration of 50 ng/cm?
During the experiment, 1 ug of the factor is placed at the center of the dish. Assume the diffusivity of the factor in cell culture media is 1 x 10^-5 cm^2/s.
A. How long does it take before the cells 1 cm from the center of the dish begin to differentiate?
B. Do you expect the cells at the edge of the dish differentiate? Justify your answer with calculations.
The following chromosomal aberration is found in nearly 90-95% of all patients
who have chronic myelogenous leukemia. This is because the change brings the
BCR and ABL genes in close proximity. BCR is responsible for cell growth, and
ABL is a proto-oncogene... this favors uncontrolled growth. Which is the most
accurate description of the aberration...

Homozygous (m-m-) males, however, can still produce viable sperm. Using m+ to denote a normal gene, determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1s produced by a cross between a heterozygous female and a recessive male. From the offspring, backcross the recessive female with the paternal strain. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2s? with COMPLETE cross for both cases.arrow_forward
