Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for an egg-laying defect in n536, n355 and n540 strains of Caenorhabditiselegans(C.elegans) in the experiment done by Horvitz and Sulston.
Introduction:
C.elegans is a transparent nematode, a commonly used model organism in research. It has been used in developmental biology to study the developmental stages of an embryo because of its transparency.

You receive four strains of yeast in the mail, and the accompanying instructions state that each strain contains a single copy of transgene A. You grow the four strains and determine that only three strains express the protein product of transgene A. Further analysis reveals that transgene A is located at a different position in the yeast genome in each of the four strains. Provide a hypothesis to explain this result.
Considering Figure 2-13, if you had a homozygous double mutant m3/m3 m5/m5, would you expect it to be mutant in phenotype? (Note: This line would have two mutant sites in the same coding sequence.)
When the S.cerevisiae genome was sequenced and surveyed for possible genes, only about 40% of those genes had been previously identified in forward genetic screens. This left about 60% of predcited genes with no known function, leading some to dub the genes fun (function unknown) genes.
a)As an approach to understanding the function of a certain fun gene, you wish to create a loss of function allele. How would you do this?
b)You wish to know the physical location of the encoded protein product. How would you obtain such information?

- The oncogenic protein BETA promotes entry into the S phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation of BETA at the amino acid Tyr98 causes BETA to be degraded by the proteasome, thus limiting its abundance.

- Suppose that you are studying the role of Protein B, which you believe plays a role in regulating PCD/Apoptosis in mice. You create two lines of mutant mice. One (bb) is homozygous for a loss-of-function allele of gene B. The other (Bb) is heterozygous, with one wild-type allele and one loss-of function allele. Initially you pay particular attention to two phenotypes of the resulting mice:(i) The morphology of their paws (see picture)(ii) The size of their brains & shape of their skulls. The bb mice have unusually large brains and unusual protrusions from their skulls. Suggest one other aspect of mouse morphology or physiology that you might expect to be altered in the absence of Protein B. Briefly explain your reasoning. Also, based on the apparent effect of Protein B on the likelihood of PCD/Apoptosis, would you classify Protein B as the product of a proto-oncogene or of a tumor suppressor gene?arrow_forwardYou have a strain of Neurospora that is unable to synthesize histidine and thus requires H in the media in order to grow.

A suppressor gene is mutated on a different chromosome A suppressor gene is mutated on the same chromosome but 10mu distant from the mutated gene. The mutant colony is crossed to a wild-type Neurospora colony and the following data are collected. 95% of all asci scored are h+ but 5% are h-.
